ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN looks set to finally get his move away from Besiktas.
The former England midfielder has been locked in talks with the Turkish club over becoming a free agent for the last month.
And finally, it looks as though Oxlade-Chamberlain, 31, who has still been training with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team in Istanbul, could be able to leave in the next few days.
He left Liverpool in 2023 and the contract with Besiktas was due to run until 2026.
But he has struggled with form and fitness.
Oxlade-Chamberlain managed just five goals and one assist in 50 appearances with Besiktas.
And the former Arenal and Southampton man is now hoping to get a return to the Premier League.
Leeds is one possible destination for the midfielder, who has been blighted by injury over the years.
Sources told SunSport Oxlade-Chamberlain fell out of favour in the eyes of former Manchester United hitman and manager Solskjaer ahead of the coming season.
The same sources claim Besiktas initially wanted to pay the midfielder’s severance package in instalments.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, however, refused to accept the proposed terms.
That refusal paved the way for a crunch meeting between the Ox and Besikitas chiefs.
And it’s ultimately resulted in the club deciding to pay his exit fee in full.
