Oxlade-Chamberlain has refused signing a new contract with Arsenal

The Arsenal winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has declined a new contract with the club and could leave within days the club, reports `Sky Sports`.
The British national has rejected the salary of 180 000 pounds per week and now the options are the club via football sure bets either to sell him or to leave him at the team for the season and lose him for no money next year.
Arsene Wenger has spoken to the player in a last attempt to convince him to stay but that try ultimately failed. Now the Frenchman will decide whether Alex will be sold or will remain in the squad for the current campaign.
It is claimed that Chelsea and Liverpool are showing serious interest in the player who is not satisfied with his position as well as with the fact he has spent a lot of time on the bench.
Wenger is not willing to sell him to a direct competitor, but otherwise, there is a risk to part with him for free, which is the situation with Ozil and Sanchez.
