Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could return this summer with a move to the championship on cards for English football.
According to reports in Turkey, in which he is currently playing for Besiktas, Leicester City pursued an approach for the former English international after her relegation from the Premier League.

Oxlade chamberlain, who turns 32 in August, just ended his second season in the Turkish super league.
It was a bit like a roller coaster experience for the ex-Arsenal and Liverpool man in his first foreign company.
His first season was a success. The Englishman made 30 appearances of the first team and when they ended a disappointing sixth in the league table, he helped Besiktas to win the Turkish trophy.
This trophy victory brought them a place in the Europa League for the following campaign, but Oxlade-Chamberlain never tasted the fruit of this sweet success.
Until then, manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst was frozen from the team, which was appointed in July 2024, but it only lasted until November.
The midfielder finally played his first minutes of the 2024/25 campaign in December, whereby his assets changed to the better than a certain coach with baby faces who is known to English football fans.
Oxlade chamberlain played in Turkey under nine managers in the 24 months since he signed from Liverpool, with no more than 20 games before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer returned to the dugout more than three years after he left Manchester United.
He was set back to the team and finally performed 20 appearances -although it still couldn’t play in the Europa League because Besiktas had no longer been made from the revised phase of the revised league -before it was excluded by a knee injury for the last three games of the season.
Despite his return to the campaign under Solskjaer, reports in Turkey’s assertion of Besiktas Chiefs are interested in finding a new club this summer in order to obtain his annual salary of £ 2.2 million from their payroll.
Turkish Daily Sports Newspaper Fotomac suggests that he already has an option on the table. Leicester is said to have chosen an approach.

It is even said that Besiktas bosses will “make it easier” when Oxlade -Chamberlain is ready to join the foxes -perhaps by agreeing to tear his contract, which is still a year to run instead of calling for a transmission fee.
After her descent from the Premier League, there is a lot of uncertainty in the King Power Stadium this summer, whereby the question of the future of manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is still hanging over the future.
It was accepted and largely reported that the Dutch would continue and a new coach took his place for his next campaign in the second stage, but neither the club nor the coach have given an idea whether he will stay or go.
In the meantime, a large number of players will leave. This summer the residence threads are in the back-back-back faes that announce.
The exit from Club Legend Jamie Vardy has already been confirmed together with the goalkeeper duo Danny Ward and Daniel Iversen, the latter already participating to a championship rival.
For Oxlade Chamberlain, a move to Leicester would return to the English leagues 15 years after his senior debut for Southampton as a 16-year-old.

Since then he has had an outstanding career and won the Premier League and Champions League title with Liverpool as well as a Carabao Cup, a UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Championship Gongs under Jürgen Klopp.
He also raised three FA trophies during his seven-year magic in Arsenal and will leave Turkey this summer after helping Besiktas to the Turkish Cup and the Turkish Super Cup.
A return to England is also welcomed at a personal level, with the footballer being engaged to Little Mix Popstar Perrie Edwards, who stayed in Cheshire together with her son during his time during his time.
