Should Liverpool swap Daniel Sturridge for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain?
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
The Independent reported last week that Liverpool are strongly pursuing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The versatile Arsenal midfielder has been consistently linked with a switch away to Anfield in 2017 but the Reds are yet to make their move.
The Gunners have no financial reason to sell, but the proposition could potentially become more tempting if they can manoeuvre a swap deal for Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge.

Both players are valued around in the £25 million price bracket, with The Independent citing that figure for Oxlade-Chamberlain and The Express valuing Sturridge at the same fee earlier this year.
Sturridge is a natural goalscorer who has lost his way a little at Liverpool, but his talent is undeniable.
As well as scoring in the Europa League final last season, Sturridge is best remembered for his 25 goal contribution in 2013/14.

Injuries have marred his progress since then, but last season he was fit for most of the campaign but Jurgen Klopp just chose to use alternative options.
A move to Arsenal, who are in need of another striker, could suit Sturridge where he would be reunited with his former England under-21 strike partner Danny Welbeck.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain would get his chance to play Champions League football with Liverpool, and would also benefit from a chnage of scene and new management, having failed to kick on as expected since making his England debut in 2012.
