Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has officially joined Besiktas on a three-year contract after departing from Liverpool earlier this summer.
Oxlade-Chamberlain, having concluded his six-season tenure with Liverpool in June, became a free agent.
Although various teams in the Saudi Pro League expressed interest, Oxlade-Chamberlain was in Turkey on Sunday to undergo a medical examination before finalizing his transfer to the 16-time Super Lig champions.
The 29-year-old midfielder featured in 146 matches across various competitions for Liverpool after his £35 million transfer from Arsenal in 2017.
Oxlade-Chamberlain played a role in Liverpool’s achievement of their first Premier League title in 2020 and was also part of the squad that secured the league cup victory two years later.
However, his involvement was hindered by injuries in recent seasons, and he only managed four starts in the Premier League during the last season as Jurgen Klopp’s team fell short of securing a Champions League spot.
The former Southampton star has joined Besiktas as they aim to build upon their third-place finish in the Turkish top flight during the previous season.
Under Senol Gunes’ management, the team is presently in the third qualifying round of the Europa Conference League and will commence their domestic campaign with an away match against Fatih Karagumruk on Monday evening.
Oxlade-Chamberlain’s signing marks another instance of an English player joining the Istanbul-based club. In the past, Dele Alli scored twice in 13 appearances during an unsuccessful loan spell, while Nathan Redmond was also with the club last season before making a return to the Premier League with Burnley this summer.
