Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, born on 15 August 1993 (age 33), is an English central midfielder with Celtic. His early senior breakthrough came at Southampton, where his most productive league season was 2010-11: nine goals in 34 appearances, the kind of return that made clear he was not just a runner in midfield.

Celtic brought him in during February 2026, adding a player with plenty of miles on the clock but still useful experience in the middle of the pitch. He was part of the Celtic squad that won the Premiership in 2025-26, a tidy addition to a career already long established before he arrived in Glasgow.

In 2026-27, Oxlade-Chamberlain has made six league appearances for Celtic, along with two in the League Cup, three in the Scottish Cup and one in the Europa League. Across all competitions for the club, he has made 12 appearances. His market value is around £850,000, according to Transfermarkt.

At Celtic, he is a current first-team option rather than a project. His profile is straightforward: an experienced midfielder, signed mid-career, now adding depth and know-how to the squad.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's career has moved from Southampton to Arsenal and Liverpool before spells abroad and his current club; he transferred from Southampton to Arsenal for €15,000,000 in August 2011 and from Arsenal to Liverpool for €35,000,000 in August 2017, later joining Besiktas and then signing for Celtic as an unattached player in February 2026 – the pattern shows high-value Premier League moves followed by later free-move activity and a transition away from peak market valuation.

Early career transfers involved significant fees – €15,000,000 to Arsenal in August 2011 and €35,000,000 to Liverpool in August 2017 – while later moves were free or via release: he joined Besiktas on a free transfer in August 2023, was released in August 2025 and then joined Celtic as an unattached player in February 2026 – this sequence highlights a move from fee-based Premier League transfers to free-transfer status.
