Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain tells of his Liverpool highs and disappointing end, choosing Turkey over Saudi Arabia and his Arsenal days
On the banks of the Bosphorus, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is pointing out his new surroundings. He gestures towards the oldest of the bridges between the European and Asian sides of Istanbul, only to find it has disappeared behind a dark cloud. “I haven’t seen it like this,” the former and midfielder says. “Genuinely, this is the worst day I’ve seen since I arrived here. It’s been lovely the whole time.” Advertisement We are at a hotel in the Besiktas district, not far from his new club’s stadium.
“I spoke to the manager , spoke about positions and the main decision for me was about just getting back to playing football as quickly as possible,” he says. “It’s a big club, it’s not too far from my family — they’re back and forth a lot — and the whole thing made sense for me to come here. The team finished third last season and maybe people see us as underdogs, but I like that. I like that challenge, coming here with guys like Eric Bailly and Ante Rebic and pushing to try to win the league.
