Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in, Samir Nasri or Cesc Fabregas out from the Emirates Stadium!?

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Arsenal and Southampton have agreed on a fee of £12million for the England under-21 international.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, contracted at Southampton until 2013, is regarded as one of England's most promising young footballers. The 17-year-old played a key role in helping Southampton secure promotion to the Championship last season, firing nine goals in 34 appearances. Known for his pace and ability to beat defenders, he can operate on either side of the pitch. A lot of people are comparing him to Arsenal’s own Theo Walcott and will give even more pace to the young and talented team.

Cesc Fabregas

Samir Nasri

I must say it’s a strange signing from Arsène Wenger, when what the Arsenal team is in desperate need of is defenders with experience. But of course Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is with out of doubt one of the most talented players in England and a good signing for the future. But I bet this will set more roumers out that Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas can be on the way out from the Emirates Stadium within short time. I bet it will be one interesting week before the premiership kick starts.
