Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain of Celtic was born in Portsmouth, England on 15 August 1993 (age 32).

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, born on 15 August 1993 (age 32), is an English central midfielder now with Celtic. His most productive league season came early at Southampton in 2010-11, when he scored nine goals in 34 appearances – a sharp enough return to mark him out as more than just another tidy academy graduate.

He joined Celtic in February 2026 and has been used primarily through the middle of the pitch. In the 2025-26 season, he made nine league appearances and scored two league goals, while also adding three Scottish Cup appearances. His Celtic total stands at 12 appearances and two goals across all competitions.

That short Celtic spell also brought a Premiership title in 2025-26, which is a useful enough start even if it does not require orchestral backing. His current market value is around £850,000, according to Transfermarkt.

Oxlade-Chamberlain’s career has run from an early breakthrough at Southampton to a later role at Celtic, where he remains part of the first-team squad. At this stage, the profile is clear enough: an experienced midfielder being asked to contribute rather than carry the whole thing.

Oxlade-Chamberlain’s career traced a high-level English route from Southampton to Arsenal and then Liverpool before a later move to Besiktas and, eventually, Celtic. At 32, his profile was no longer one of upward development, but the path still reflected a player who had operated at clubs with significant expectations before arriving in Scotland.
