There’s a claim in the Turkish media that Southampton are still interested signing Besiktas attacking midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Besiktas are reportedly looking to offload the former Liverpool player and he’s been linked with a return to the Premier League side in recent weeks.
Sabah have today reported on the latest developments regarding the future of Oxlade-Chamberlain and they say Southampton, along with Sheffield United, are now in transfer talks to sign the 30-year-old.
Both English clubs will be looking to add to their squad this summer and there’s a possibility they could land Oxlade-Chamberlain on a free transfer.
Despite arriving as a free agent last summer it seems his time in Istanbul is coming to an end, with the Black Eagles keen to get him off their wage bill.
There have been previous reports he’s also keen on a return to England after failing to make a real impact since his arrival at Besiktas.
Oxlade-Chamberlain made 30 appearances for Besiktas last season, scoring 4 goals. He’s contracted to the club until June 2026.
