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 centre midfielder with Celtic. His senior career began at Southampton, where the early promise came with proper output: in 2010/11 he scored nine league goals in 34 appearances, still his most productive league season.

He joined Celtic in February 2026, brought in during the run-in rather than as one for the long grass. That first half-season ended with Celtic winning the Premiership, giving him a Scottish title on his record.

In 2026/27, Oxlade-Chamberlain has made three Scottish Cup appearances for Celtic, which also accounts for his current total across all competitions for the club. His market value is around £850,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His career arc is plain enough: an early Southampton breakthrough, a long road before Glasgow, and now a Celtic spell built around experience in central midfield.

His transfer history splits clearly into two phases: Arsenal paid 15m to sign him from Southampton in 2011, then Liverpool paid 35m in 2017. Since leaving Liverpool, the moves have been lower-risk – a free transfer to Besiktas, a release in 2025 and an unattached move to Celtic in February 2026.
