Oxlade-Chamberlain back in red — and maybe not done yet
Wolves flirt with déjà vu: O’Neil talks return amid Molineux unrest
Pep fires title warning — Haaland compared to Messi
LONDON, November 3, 2025 — A day of flashbacks, fresh starts, and football déjà vu across England’s topflight.
The Premier League transfer rumour mill didn’t rest this Monday, and neither did the drama.
Here’s what’s shaking England’s football foundations — from North London to the Black Country.
Oxlade-Chamberlain: Back Where It All Began
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is training with Arsenal again, nearly eight years after leaving for Liverpool.
At 32, the former England midfielder isn’t hanging up his boots yet. Sky Sports reports he’s working with the club’s U21s to stay sharp while weighing his next move.
Oxlade, who made almost 200 appearances for the Gunners and still stands as their record £35 million sale, turned down several overseas offers — his heart’s set on staying in England.
It’s a return that tugs at the heartstrings: the comeback kid back on familiar turf, boots laced, chasing one last chapter.
Wolves’ Revolving Door: O’Neil in Talks, Fans Divided
At Molineux, the managerial merry-go-round spins again. Gary O’Neil — yes, the same O’Neil sacked by Wolves last December — could be back in the dugout.
Talks are reportedly underway after Vitor Pereira’s sacking, but not everyone’s sold on a sequel. Fans remember the highs (14th place and an FA Cup run) and the lows (discipline and form collapsing faster than crypto prices).
Rob Edwards, currently steering Middlesbrough to second in the Championship, is also in the mix — a Wolves old boy with 100+ appearances and the sort of homegrown nostalgia fans crave.
No rush, says the club, but they’ve got 28 games to fix this mess. Tick, tock.
Pep’s Pep Talk: “We Have the Energy — Haaland Is on Messi Levels”
While chaos brews elsewhere, Pep Guardiola sounds like a man in his element.
“City have the energy to go again,” he told reporters, smiling that knowing smile. “Haaland? He’s on Messi levels.”
That’s not just confidence — that’s a headline waiting to happen.
The Norwegian powerhouse has been scoring like an algorithm on fire, and Pep’s words hint at a title race that’s far from over.
Why It Matters
The stories swirling around the Premier League right now show the league’s emotional range in full: nostalgia, chaos, ambition.
Arsenal fans get a hit of memory and hope. Wolves face déjà vu with O’Neil’s possible return. City? They’re just doing City things — terrifying everyone else with efficiency and swagger.
