The Italian tactician has already seen his offers rejected for Real Madrid’s Danilo and Juventus’ Alex Sandro to his wing-back options, as Danilo decided to join Manchester City and Alex Sandro stayed with Juve. Oxlade-Chamberlain, who endured a frustrating evening in Arsenal's 4-0 humiliation to Liverpool last weekend, has made almost 200 appearances for Wenger’s team since his move
