Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is considering quitting Arsenal for Liverpool this summer, tempted by the prospect of playing in his favoured central midfield role under Jurgen Klopp.

Oxlade-Chamberlain’s future is uncertain as he awaits a contract offer from Arsenal. His current deal runs out in 2018 so he is inevitably mulling over his options, with Liverpool an attractive proposition. Liverpool are interested in the player and are watching developments closely.

Should negotiations fail to advance it is understood the England international is ready to push for a move to Anfield.

Oxlade-Chamberlain wants his career to develop as a central midfielder rather than wide man and Klopp’s interest will make Liverpool front-runners should a transfer materialise.

Despite Oxlade-Chamberlain’s appeal, Liverpool recognise several obstacles must be overcome to complete one of the most eye-catching deals of the summer.
