Arsenal, Man Utd Target Oxlade-chamberlain Has Injury Scare

Southampton young gun Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has suffered an injury scare just weeks out from the start of the Championship season.

The 17-year old winger, who has been a transfer target for Premier League giants Arsenal and Manchester United in recent times, limped out of the Saints’ pre-season clash with West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday with an ankle problem.

Southampton boss Nigel Adkins says the club will do everything they can do get Oxlade-Chamberlain back to fitness whilst applauding the talented player for maintaining focus amidst transfer speculation.

“We’ll take all the right precautions with Alex, because he’s a very important player for us,” he said.

“The speculation has been going on for a while, and we can’t do anything about it.

“But he’s put in some great performances in pre-season. Alex is very professional in what he does, and that will continue.”
