How Arsenal could line-up from January transfer window with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Noa Lang adding to attack


ARSENAL are looking into bringing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain back to north London, as well as sign young Dutch star Noa Lang.

Its been four years since Oxlade-Chamberlain left the Gunners for Liverpool in a £35million transfer.

The 28-year-old has had success in picking up some silverware, winning the Premier League and Champions League under Jurgen Klopp.

But has ultimately struggled with injuries, missing a grand total of 74 games as a result.

The midfielder has made just five appearances for the Reds this season and has become frustrated with his lack of opportunities.

Arsenal are interested in an initial six-month loan with the possibility of a permanent deal at the end of the season.

And Oxlade-Chamberlain has a good relationship with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, with the pair winning the FA Cup together with Arsenal in 2014 and 2015.

Arteta is said to be considering how valuable Oxlade-Chamberlain’s experience could be to his young guns Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe.

Should Oxlade-Chamberlain make a sensational return to Arsenal, he would bolster Arteta’s midfield options and could easily slot into the two-man midfield alongside star man Thomas Partey.

The Gunners are also chasing Club Brugge’s 22-year-old Dutch sensation Lang.

The winger enjoyed a sensational campaign last season, scoring 17 goals and assisting 11 as Brugge won the title by a huge 16 points.

And his fine form has garnered interest from a host of clubs playing inside Europe’s top five leagues.

Serie A title-chasing AC Milan, according to Calciomercato, have already made initial contact with Lang’s representatives.

Arsenal were reportedly keen to make a move next summer when strikers Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are out of contract or moved on.

Alternatively, Lang could play behind Aubameyang, and Smith Rowe can operate out wide on the left

But with Milan showing some early interest, the Gunners may make a move in January instead.

And should Lang trade Belgium for England, his versatility gives Arteta a host of positions to play him in.

The youngster can operate out wide, in behind the striker, or play as a centre-forward.
