Arsenal star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is out of contract at the end of the season and has refused to sign a new contract with the Gunners.

According to reports, he has already told the club’s hierarchy that he will not sign a new deal with the Gunners.

Chelsea have been strongly linked with the 24-year-old utility player, and the Blues are said to have genuine interest in the winger who can also play in central midfield and wing-back. According to the Telegraph, Chelsea have been frustrated in the lack of progress over a move for the winger and they want Oxlade-Chamberlain to tell Wenger of his wish to move to the club during their meeting.

Reports now claim Oxlade-Chamberlain will try to force a deal away from Arsenal as he seeks a move to West London.
