Arsenal: 5 Players That May Side With Alexis Sanchez Over Arsene Wenger
By Josh Sippie
3. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
The rumors have only just started up that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be pushing for a summer move. He mentioned earlier in the year that if the first-team opportunities didn’t pick up, he’d definitely start looking for a team that would use him properly.
Like Ramsey, it’s just been a matter of positioning and opportunity (or lack thereof). The Ox and Wenger both have said that the best position to use the multifaceted midfielder in is right in the middle of the pitch. Yet for the past half decade he has been a winger.
Thanks to injuries, the Ox has gotten some time in the middle of the pitch and he has done incredibly well with it. But when players tart returning to health, there is no guarantee that our talented Englishman won’t be forced back out wide.
Wenger can be stubborn in these regards and the Ox knows that. Just like Ramsey, a change in scenery would bring out the absolute best in the Ox because whatever team gets him will be getting him for the right reasons.
With a new manager, Ox would have a fresh start at the position he was meant to play.
At No. 2, we are digging deep.
