Southampton are keen to seal the transfer return of Arsenal winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer.
Oxlade-Chamberlain, 22, has struggled to hit top form this season, making just nine Premier League starts and scoring only one league goal in a frustrating campaign.
The England global is now sidelined with a knee injury that he suffered during the Gunners’ UEFA Champions League loss to La Liga giants FC Barcelona, 1-3, in the second leg of their round-of-16 series on March 16th at the Nou Camp in Barcelona.
The 22-year-old was sold by Southampton in 2011 for £15 million, but it’s now reported that the club are willing to launch a similar offer to bring their former youth star back to St Mary’s.
They are now believed to be ready to make a bid for a player who has also interested Manchester City and Liverpool.
