O'Neill confirms Celtic interest in Oxlade-Chamberlain

Celtic boss Martin O'Neill has confirmed the club has held talks with ex-Arsenal, Liverpool and England midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain about a potential move to the club.

The 32-year-old left Besiktas in August but has been without a club since, and spent much of the January transfer window training with former club Arsenal while also entering negotiations with the Bhoys.

Celtic can take their time over signing the midfielder with their only time constraint Thursday's deadline if they wish to register him for their Europa League squad in time to face Stuttgart in the knock-out play-offs next week.

Speaking to Your Site, O'Neill said: "We were speaking to Oxlade-Chamberlain, and I think he's training at Arsenal at this moment, and Arsenal may even offer him a contract, If that's the case then that's really great.

"At 32, I was astonished that he hadn't been picked off. I know he was talking about his difficulties out in Turkey, but someone of that sort of experience would have been great.

"It may still happen, because he's out of contract but he will have a number of options, probably closer to home. But if that materialised, that would give us something."

Ladies and Gentlemen, we Godden!

Walsall have completed the signing of Jago Godden from Bedford Town.

The 22-year-old will have to wait for his first appearance at the Bescot, however, as he's heading to Ireland to spend the next 12 months with Drogheda United on loan. 

Ronaldo expected to end his Saudi strike

Latest from Your Site News' Kaveh Solhekol: 

Senior Saudi football officials are now expecting Cristiano Ronaldo to end his strike and play against Al Ittihad on Friday.

His return to action has not been confirmed but officials are hoping he has made his point and Fridays game will be too big for him to miss. He is also contractually obliged to play unless he is injured.

Al Nassr could go top of the SPL on Friday if leaders Al Hilal drop points against Al Akhdoud tomorrow.

Saudi officials believe Ronaldo is still in Riyadh despite reports he has flown to Portugal.

Al Nassrs official X account has posted pictures of his teammates and manager Jorge Jesus today, but so far there have been no images of Ronaldo since Sunday.
