Everton should consider beating Liverpool to Arsenal’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Everton are in the middle of a spending spree never before seen at Goodison Park, and it shows no sign of slowing down.
All eyes are on who should be the next player through the door, and the Toffees would be wise to take a look at Arsenal’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The Gunners ace has just one year left on his contract, and his career is so far one of unfulfilled potential.

Premier League rivals Liverpool have been strongly linked with a transfer bid, with The Independent linking the Reds with a £25 million move.
Liverpool can offer the England international a chance to play Champions League football, but Oxlade-Chamberlain would not be a guarantee starter at Liverpool, far from it, with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane as competition.
At Everton, Oxlade-Chamberlain would have a clearer path to first team football in the wide areas, and he would be a certain upgrade on Belgian ace Kevin Mirallas.

Arsenal may be reluctant to let the 23-year-old leave to another Premier League competitor, but they are not in a strong position due to the winger’s contract situation.
Oxlade-Chamberlain would add a touch of further quality to Everton’s ranks, and his versatility could be a real asset.
If Everton are really keen to exert their spending power, seizing a talent like him from Arsenal, and away from Liverpool’s grasp, would be the perfect way to do it.
