Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s departure from Liverpool has been touted for the January transfer window.
The former Arsenal winger has been linked with a winter move away from Anfield.
The England international, a £40 million signing by Liverpool back in 2017 [Guardian], has struggled in a major way for fitness and form over the past couple of years.
Oxlade-Chamberlain impressed in the 3-1 Premier League victory away to Aston Villa on Monday, having played a part in the League Cup defeat by Manchester City last Thursday.
As covered by HITC Football, AC Milan are reportedly [Calciomercato] among those interested in signing Oxlade-Chamberlain next summer when his contract expires at Liverpool.
And although Didi Hamann has acknowledged that he was decent on Boxing Day, the former Reds midfielder cannot see a long-term future for him on Merseyside any longer.
He told Stadium Astro: “Oxlade-Chamberlain did okay today but I think his time is up as well.”
If he’s fit, Oxlade-Chamberlain can be a massive asset for Liverpool.
Everyone knows he’s had some big moments in a Reds shirt down the years but, again, the problem is fitness.
If Jurgen Klopp could keep him fit and motivated then there’s no telling how many more memorable moments the former Southampton starlet could produce.
But that, in essence, is the rub – fitness.
