suggesting it was only a matter
of the transfer fee that was to
be agreed between the clubs
before finalising personal terms.
A statement on the official
Arsenal website read:
“Arsenal Football Club is delighted
to announce that Alex Oxlade-

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger
also described his delight at his
latest signing.
“He is an exciting young player
who will provide us with
creativity and offensive quality.
Alex is a versatile player who
can play in a number of positions.
He can play as an attacking
centre midfielder, or wide left
and right. Alex is a perceptive
passer of the ball and has a
great understanding of the
game and looks to be a very
good team player.”
Wenger added.
“Alex has done extremely well
during his development with
Southampton and we are looking
forward to him progressing even
further and fulfilling his huge
potential with Arsenal Football
Club.”
