Liverpool have been given the green light to sign Arsenal midfielder
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after he rejected a move to Chelsea on Tuesday
after both London clubs agreed a fee.
The Merseysiders are thought to have offered a bid of around £30m for
the 24 year old. Which was rejected by Arsenal. But they have
substantially moved closer to a fee that is acceptable to gunners.
Oxlade-Chamberlian was on the verge of signing for Chelsea on Tuesday,
but turned down a move over fears that he wouldn't play in his
preferred position in central midfield.
Now, with a move to Anfield all but, close it remains to be seen
whether he would get the chance to play in a position that Jurgen
Klopp has numerous options in. And the arrival of Naby Keita in 2018
would only add depth and quality to that positon.
The move is expected to be finalised before Thursday's deadline at
11pm BST. By which time, clubs should have settled their incomings and
outgoings for this summer until at least the January transfer window.
