Alex Oxlade Chamberlain's 'bizarre contract clause at Arsenal' revealed

Alex Oxlade Chamberlain has made his move from Arsenal to Liverpool in 2017. Since moving to Liverpool things have worked out for Oxlade-Chamberlain and he's shown remarkable signs of improvement, despite his terrible injury. Oxlade Chamberlain's main problem at Arsenal was a consistent run-out in the first team. According to Alan Gernon's book, The Transfer Market: The Inside Stories, there is a reason why Arsenal were reluctant to play him more regularly. (via Mirror) A section from the book reads: "Following Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's move to Arsenal in 2011, Gunners fans became increasingly frustrated with the midfielder's lack of playing time. "He was predominantly used as a substitute, often around the 71-minute mark. After his contract details emerged, it all became clear: Arsenal were obliged to pay Southampton £10,000 every time he played 20 minutes or more." Oxlade-Chamberlain's final game at Arsenal was against Liverpool, where they lost 4-0 to Chamberlain's future club. While his debut for Liverpool was against Manchester City which ended with Manchester City's 5-0 win.
