Celtic are set to confirm the signing of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The 32-year-old has been training with Arsenal to keep himself fit and Mikel Arteta had teased a potential deal; however, it looks as if the Scottish Champions have secured his signing.
According to Sky Sports journalist James Savundra, Ox will travel to Glasgow to finalise a move to join Martin O’Neill’s side.

Celtic have secured a deal until the end of the season but there will be an option to extend for a year. A Premier League and European Champion with Liverpool, Martin O’Neill has been positive about the player and keen to add him.
Earlier tonight, there had been rumours that a deal for Oxlade-Chamberlain had stalled due to the length of contract as well as the fact that the former England Internationalist would not be included in the club’s Europa League squad.
It is a good signing, even if it is a free agent arrival. Oxlade-Chamberlain is of a good pedigree and has experience at the highest level.
