Besiktas have terminated the contract of a former Arsenal and Liverpool star.

The player signed for Besiktas in 2023 and made 50 appearances for the club, while he scored five goals.

His contract with the Turkish club was previously set to run until next summer.

A former England international, he won the Turkish Cup and the Turkish Super Cup while at Besiktas.

However, he will now be on the lookout for a new club this summer. 

He wasn’t considered part of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s plans for the new campaign.

As reported by Yeni Safak, Besiktas have terminated the contract of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The midfielder struggled with injury midway through his first season at Besiktas but  featured prominently last campaign.

Between 2012 and 2019 Oxlade-Chamberlain was capped by England on 35 occasions and scored seven goals.

After starting out at Southampton, he signed for Arsenal in 2011 and played 198 times for the Gunners, scoring 20 goals and winning three FA Cups.

A move to Liverpool followed in 2017, with Oxlade-Chamberlain winning an array of trophies during his time with the Reds.

He won the Champions League, the Premier League, the League Cup, the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup. 

In total Oxlade-Chamberlain scored 18 goals in 146 appearances for Liverpool. 

A player who was very highly rated as a youngster, Oxlade-Chamberlain has often endured problems with injuries.
