Chelsea target Oxlade-Chamberlain to reject Arsenal contract offer

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is set to reject a new contract offer from Arsenal.

Oxlade-Chamberlain is set for crunch talks with the Gunners today after being offered a new four-year deal worth £125,000-a-week.

But the indications are he will follow the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil by refusing to sign it, despite being in the final year of his current deal, says the Daily Star.

Arsenal want his future sorted as soon as possible and have so far resisted all attempts by Chelsea to lure the 24-year-old away.

But the Blues are under pressure to make signings and have made it clear they are willing to pay £40m despite him being available on a free transfer next summer.
