Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is the most expensive player Arsenal sold.

In August 2018, Arsenal sold England international, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for the club’s record fee of £40m to Liverpool.

The attacking midfielder arrived at the Emirates in 2011 from Southampton for £15m. He made 198 appearances for the Gunners while also netting the ball 20 times and laying out 32 assists.

He was primarily utilised as a winger by Arsene Wenger due to his incredible speed and athletic abilities. However, since joining forces with the Reds, Jurgen Klopp has allowed him to slide into his preferable number ten spot.

Oxlade-Chamberlain had massive potential to become a legendary figure at Arsenal but was somehow swayed by his own inconsistencies and recurring injury history.

His last memorable performance for the North London outfit was during the 2016/17 FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City during which he managed to win the Man Of The Match award.

During his 6 years with Arsenal, Oxlade-Chamberlain won the FA Cup and the FA Community Shield 3 times each.

Arsenal Transfer History

Arsenal Transfer History

Arsenal spent their highest amounts of money on players over the last few seasons under Arsene Wenger. Prior to that, the Frenchman was not allowed to venture deep into the transfer market much due to the club’s obligation to pay off their debts.

In what became one of the most influential periods of the North London club’s history, Arsenal managed to pay off the construction of their present stadium the Emirates while remaining competitive in the European top-flight.

Their expenses over the past decade have given off the image of a miserly club but in truth, the Gunners have managed to remain one of the richest clubs in the world even through a period of rebuilding. Watch & Bet on Football =>
