Ox after a way home

ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN is eyeing a return to English football after Besiktas agreed to terminate his contract.

The former Arsenal and Liverpool midfielder, 32, has been in Turkey for two years but wants to come home.

There were reports earlier in the summer that Besiktas had terminated his contract but it was only agreed yesterday, making him a free agent.

Leeds have been linked after Championship side Birmingham made an ambitious move to get him to strengthen their promotion push.

Meanwhile, Leeds midfielder Sam Greenwood has completed a permanent move to Pogon Szczecin.

The Polish top-flight club have paid a club record fee of around £2m for the 23-year-old, who has ended his five-year stay at Elland Road.

Leeds said: “Everyone at Leeds United would like to thank Sam for his efforts whilst representing the club both on and off the pitch and we wish him every success for the next step in his career.”
