Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, born 15 August 1993 (age 33), is an English central midfielder currently with Celtic. His early senior breakthrough came at Southampton, where his most productive league season was 2010-11: nine goals in 34 appearances, a return that marked him out quickly enough without much need for embroidery.

He joined Celtic in February 2026 and won the Premiership in 2025-26. In 2026-27, he has made two league appearances, one League Cup appearance and three Scottish Cup appearances, taking him to six appearances for the club across all competitions.

His current market value is around £850,000, according to Transfermarkt. At Celtic, he is an experienced midfield option rather than a developing project, with his career now shaped by a late Scottish chapter after an early rise at Southampton.
