Arsenal to Complete £29m Pair Signings This Week


Arsenal will this week sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Southampton for £12million.


The winger – who will be 18 on Monday week – has emerged as one of the most exciting prospects in the country.

The initial down payment will be around £7 million and the fee will rise according to appearances.

The next decision for Wenger concerns a centre-back. The three on his list are Phil Jagielka of Everton, Christopher Samba of Blackburn and Gary Cahill of Bolton.

The stumbling block concerning Jagielka is the £18m asking price for a player who will be 29 this month.

Wenger is thought to favour a move for Samba.

But he will have competition from Tottenham for the Congo international and it may be Wenger will opt for Cahill.
