According to the Daily Mirror, Liverpool are pushing to sign Arsenal
contract rebel Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the last week of the
transfer window. And would try to beat Chelsea to his signature.
The 24 year old turned down a reported £180,000 a week contract this
week, and Arsenal are now looking to cash in on him before the
transfer window shuts on Thursday.
Chelsea are reportedly still interested in signing the England
international. With Arsenal hoping that a bidding war between Chelsea
and Liverpool would rise any potential fee over £35m threshold.
The report linking the Ox away from the club has grown stronger in
recent days, and with a transfer window just days from getting shut, a
closure to the situation isn't far away.
The club's hands are tied after he rejected the latest offer, and the
situation is made more complicated with Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil
in the same situation of being in the last year of their contract.
The club has made a sporting decision as regards the futures of the
Chilean and German. By declaring that they are staying. But, it looks
very strongly that a financial decision would be taken in respect of
the Ox which might see him end up at either Anfield or Stamford Bridge
at the end of the transfer window.
