The former Liverpool and Arsenal man is a free agent currently training at the Gunners.
A former Arsenal and Liverpool star is reportedly on the radar of Celtic - and it’s not a deal they need to rush through the door.
Kelechi Iheanacho arrived as a free agent after the summer window shut and that trick could be pulled again in pursuit of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is without a club, following his exit from Besiktas. He has vast experience down south from time at Southampton, Arsenal and Liverpool, where he won the Premier League and Champions League.
Oxlade-Chamberlain would add much experience to the engine room but is training with Arsenal at present. That said, it’s reported by Sky Sports that he is a free agent they are considering, with the possibility of a deal beyond Monday’s winter transfer window deadline.

When you lose a big player like this in the squad with four months to go and all the competitions to play for, you need to look.
“And we need to do everything that we possibly can do to see if we have a player that is available, and if we don’t, we keep what we have. At this level, especially for four months, you have to bring a player that has the capacity to adapt immediately and impact the team. That is not easy, but if it was easy we would not be here. So we need to find solutions and try. We need players because we play every two, three days.”
