OX LEAVES CHELSEA FUMING

-

FROM BACK PAGE Arsenal didn’t want to sell to Liverpool – the two clubs have had a frosty relationsh­ip since the botched Luis Suarez transfer in 2013.

Gunners gave Ox’s switch to Stamford Bridge their blessing – but the 24-year-old (right) rejected the move and, with nowhere else to go, Arsenal had to accept a rival bid from Jurgen Klopp.

Chelsea feel they have “been played” by Liverpool over Ox, who will sign a six-year deal. OxladeCham­berlain, criticised for his performanc­e at Anfield on Sunday, was due to have a medical at England’s HQ last night.
