Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, born on 15 August 1993 (age 33), is an English centre midfielder now with Celtic. His early senior impact came at Southampton, where the 2010-11 season brought 34 league appearances and nine goals, still his most productive league campaign.

He joined Celtic in February 2026, adding experience to the midfield rather than arriving as some grand rebuilding project. His first months at the club brought a Premiership title in 2025-26, a useful enough start for a player brought in during the run-in.

In 2026-27, he has made five league appearances for Celtic, along with two in the League Cup, three in the Scottish Cup and one in the Europa League. That leaves him on 11 appearances for the club across all competitions. His current market value is around £850,000, according to Transfermarkt.

Oxlade-Chamberlain’s career has run from an early breakout at Southampton to a later role at Celtic, where he remains part of the first-team midfield picture.

Oxlade-Chamberlain's career began at Southampton before an €15m move to Arsenal in August 2011 and an €35m transfer to Liverpool in August 2017; he moved to Besiktas on a free transfer in August 2023, was released in August 2025 and signed for Celtic as an unattached player in February 2026, a trajectory that maps from Premier League prominence to later-career mobility abroad.
