The Arsenal winger is a reported transfer target for Liverpool this summer.

Sky Sports are reporting that there is more or less a zero chance of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain signing a new deal at Arsenal this summer, as talks over a new deal have stalled between the player and club.

The 23-year-old has just 12 months remaining on his current deal with the Gunners, and is a key transfer target for Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool, according to the Daily Mail.

The England international displayed his versatility for Arsene Wenger’s men last term, performing to extremely high levels in a variety of different positions – something that would surely be hugely appealing to Klopp.

The Ox joined Arsenal from Southampton six years ago, for a fee believed to be in the region of £12 million, and is reportedly valued at around £25 million now, according to the Daily Mail.

And with Sky Sports now reporting that the Gunners winger has become frustrated with a lack of progress during talks with the Gunners, the Reds might just have a clear path to bring him to Anfield this summer.

If Klopp is in fact successful in his pursuit of the Ox, it could be the final piece of the jigsaw for his Liverpool side, as they attempt to mount a sustained challenge for major honours on all fronts this season.
