Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal.

Liverpool moved in late ahead of Chelsea to have agreed to a £40 million deal to sign Arsenal and England midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ahead of Thursday’s deadline.

According to BBC Sport journalist David Ornstein, Oxlade Chamberlain will sign a five-year deal with Liverpool and will become Arsenal’s all-time record departure fee.

The England international rejected a big money offer from Chelsea, and will join Liverpool on a five-year contract worth £120,000 a week, according to BBC.

Liverpool are yet to announce the deal for Oxlade-Chamberlain officially, but we have two pictures of him (leaked online) wearing the Reds shirt.

The 24-year-old winger joined the Gunners in August 2011 from Southampton, and scored 20 goals in 198 appearances.

Till date, this fee is the highest Liverpool have paid for a player – although it will easily surpass when Naby Keita joins next summer from RP Leipzig for a reported fee of £48 million.

The Reds have signed winger Mohamed Salah from Roma, full-back Andrew Robertson from Hull, and striker Dominic Solanke after his contract at Chelsea expired this summer already.
