Report: Chelsea want Oxlade-Chamberlain

Chelsea are reportedly weighing up a bid for Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as they prepare to lose the unsettled Eden Hazard.

Hazard inspired the Blues to the Premier League title last season, but has not scored a single league goal for the capital club this term.

It is understood that the Belgian will seek a move either this month or at the end of the season, with Manchester United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain all said to be in the running for the attacker.

According to The Sun, Oxlade-Chamberlain has been identified as a possible replacement for Hazard, with the England international said to be seeking a fresh challenge.

The 22-year-old has made more substitute league appearances for Arsenal than he has starts the attacker is not first choice for the Gunners when Arsene Wenger has a squad free of injury.

Oxlade-Chamberlain is also believed to be keen on regular playing time in the second half of the season ahead of Euro 2016.
