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 who joined Celtic in February 2026. His most productive league season came early in his career at Southampton in 2010-11, when he scored nine goals in 34 appearances.

Celtic brought him in as an experienced option rather than a project, and he has been used mainly through the middle of the pitch. In 2025-26, he has made nine league appearances and scored twice, with another two outings in the Scottish Cup, taking him to 11 appearances and two goals for the club in all competitions.

His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, his Celtic spell is still a short one: an experienced England midfielder added mid-season, contributing in measured doses rather than being asked to carry the whole thing.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been used as a rotation midfielder rather than a fixed starter, with nine Premiership appearances split between five starts and four substitute outings. His two league goals give him some end product from central midfield, while two Scottish Cup appearances without a goal point to a squad role across competitions rather than a player carrying the side every week.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s rating data is steady rather than standout, with a season average of 6.85, a high of 7.58 and a low of 6.53. That suggests a fairly consistent contribution without many poor displays, but also limited evidence so far of dominant week-to-week influence.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s career path runs from Southampton to Arsenal, Liverpool, Besiktas and now Celtic, which is a clear arc from early elite-level promise through Premier League peak years into a late-career reset. At 32, the profile is less about development and more about whether his experience and remaining athletic output can still influence matches in Scotland.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s transfer history shows both his former status and his current market position. Southampton to Arsenal for 15,000,000 and Arsenal to Liverpool for 35,000,000 were upward moves at major fees, but Liverpool to Besiktas was a free transfer, followed by release and an unattached move to Celtic, with his market value now listed at €1.50m.
