Arsenal have given Liverpool the go-ahead to sign England international Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, according to the Daily Mirror.

Oxlade-Chamberlain has rejected multiple contract offers from Arsenal this summer as he pushes for a move to a rival Premier League club.

Chelsea, the reigning champions, appeared set to sign the 24-year-old after they agreed a £35million fee with Arsenal earlier in the week.

But Oxlade-Chamberlain is said to have his heart set on a move to Anfield to work under Jurgen Klopp and therefore rejected Chelsea’s advances.

The Daily Mirror say that despite long-running history of bad blood between Arsenal and Liverpool, the Gunners are prepared to sell the England star to Klopp’s charge.

It is claimed Arsenal have decided to move Oxlade-Chamberlain on rather than keep him at the club for his final year and are ready to come to an agreement with Liverpool.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has won three FA Cups since joining the Gunners in 2011, is said to view Liverpool as the ideal club to enhance his career at and is now in talks over a late move.

The former Southampton star would become Klopp’s fourth summer signing following deals to bring Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Dominic Solanke to Anfield.
