Liverpool have opened talks with Arsenal for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

The Kop are looking to do a deal for the Gunners contract rebel before tomorrow’s 11pm deadline.

Oxlade-Chamberlain has rejected the chance to move to Chelsea after they agreed a £40m fee for his signature.

It has been widely reported that he was holding out for a move to Liverpool.

And with talks underway he could be about to get his wish.

The Liverpool Echo say talks have started between the two Premier League giants for the England midfielder who has less than a year left on his contract at The Emirates.

Arsenal told the Kop earlier this summer that Oxlade-Chamberlain was not for sale.

However, after agreeing a deal with Chelsea they have rowed back on that stance.

At the moment it unclear if Liverpool are willing to match Chelsea’s offer.

But after making his stance at Arsenal clear, Oxlade-Chamberlain will be desperate for terms to be agreed.

The Echo add that the former Southampton man is desperate to work with Jurgen Klopp and feels the German would take his game to the next level.
