davieG Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 https://eflanalysis.com/transfers/leicester-city-have-just-made-a-shock-contract-offer-to-premier-league-winner/ Leicester City submit contract offer for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain In the January window, Besiktas midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was on their radar as Van Nistelrooy sought Premier League experience. An offer was never submitted for the versatile 31-year-old, but now, according to Fotomac, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is willing to let the Englishman leave, and Leicester have offered him a contract. Oxlade-Chamberlain has played for Besiktas since leaving Liverpool in 2023, having won the Premier League and Champions League under Jurgen Klopp. Unfortunately, injuries have prevented him from fulfilling his potential, and since moving to Turkey he’s missed 132 days through injury. However, with the report claiming Besiktas want him off their wage bill, Oxlade-Chamberlain could become Leicester’s first signing of the summer. What Jurgen Klopp has said about Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Although wages could be a problem for Leicester, the former Arsenal star would offer positional versatility, displaying capabilities as a box-to-box, attacking midfielder and winger. Oxlade-Chamberlain also possesses the pace, shooting ability and dribbling to be an incredible asset for the Foxes, with former manager Klopp previously waxing lyrical over his talents. Speaking in 2023, Klopp said via Liverpool’s official website: “Ox is a super guy, an absolutely super guy. “Now with Ox it’s a bigger shame, how it sometimes is with players – he had here super times and now in the end I’m pretty sure he is not 100% happy and I can understand that, definitely. “But the one moment that comes in my mind, it describes a little bit the time here but as well how good he is, is the situation in the Roma semi-final, the home game when he got injured. In that moment I had no idea how to replace him, honestly – Ox was that good. “It was everything: he came here, had played from time to time at wing-back at Arsenal, winger for sure, and he became a proper No.8 here in the way we wanted to play – super-energetic, technically outstanding.” 1 1
davieG Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 We need more PL experience for when we get automatically promoted. 1 2
Foxes1 Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 Premier league experience worked well 12 months ago with Ayew & De Cordova Reid what could possibly go wrong. 1 1

When will we learn How dare you say that, you do know we were in league one once and JR was here when we won the league and FA Cup so you aren’t allowed to ever question a decision he or his recruitment team makes. We should be grateful 3
Haywood_6 Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 This would just add to the problem so I can believe it to be fair. Another aging player ready for an easy life at seagrave with no hunger or desire 1
coolhandfox Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 Crazy...... If we off load Coady, Vestergaard, BCDR and Ayew I'd be OK with it.
Guppys Love Child Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 Wow, another 30+, injury prone with no resale value player incoming, what could possibly go wrong? Well at least Pereira will have someone to talk to in the Injury Suite at 'Spa de Seagrave' If this goes through then it just re-enforces the fact that this club is a weapons grade sh1t show, willing to spaff wages to a player who potentially will.have limited game time, but not £2.5m (according to sources) release clause for Rohl. 3
jonny_wright Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 60k a week 3 year deal that sits in the spa injured or dropped - can’t wait 1
The Doctor Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 fold the club and go back to playing on viccy park tbh 1
orangecity23 Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 Feels like Rudkin is trying to complete a real life Southampton reject Pannini sticker book.
Danizen Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 Anyone follow Turkish football? Are his performances as underwhelming as his stats suggest? If true, it would confirm that there's no change in direction, no learning from our past mistakes 1
Guest Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 It's a nonsense rehash of what was a nonsense rumour in the first place 1
ScotFox1 Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 Just no.. not the kind of player we need. Hugely disappointing if true 👎

Lambert09 Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 It’s a dumb move but it’s still a better move than ayew and BDR. In the games he’d play in the championship he’d be easily be our best player technically. we’re just not in a position to carry any bodies so we’d be daft to do it. If by some miracle you got a season out of him in the championship you’d be laughing though wouldn’t you
splinterdream Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 It's not the type of signing we want to see is it?
brookfox Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 Rudkins done the maths and is planning on selling 734,000 shirts with his name on the back to cover the wages 👍🏻
ts_1010 Posted 7 June 2025 Posted 7 June 2025 The fact that I got this advert pop up in the thread says it all really. 3
