Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain offered shock English return by Championship club following reports Little Mix partner Perrie Edwards' struggles with long-distance relationship

Besiktas signed Oxlade-Chamberlain in the summer of 2023 as a free agent following the end of his contract with Liverpool. Despite having a very strong first season with the Turkish side, the midfielder was an outcast through the majority of the most recent campaign before former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer arrived as head coach. Nonetheless, the England international is considering leaving Besiktas this summer, especially amid reports that his fiancée, Edwards, of Little Mix, is struggling with their long-distance relationship.

Turkish outlet Fotomac has now reported that Leicester City have shown interest in bringing Oxlade-Chamberlain to the King Power Stadium this summer following their relegation from the Premier League to the Championship. Besiktas are reportedly open to selling the 32-year-old as the management believes that his wages are currently too high.

Oxlade-Chamberlain has played under nine managers at Besiktas in the 24 months since joining from Liverpool, with none lasting more than 20 games before Solskjaer returned to the sidelines.

Reports have also suggested that Besiktas may be open to ripping up Oxlade-Chamberlain's contract to make it easier for Leicester City to sign the 32-year-old. The Turkish side are ready to do so as they are keen to offload the highly-paid Englishman.
