Liverpool 'contact Arsenal regarding swoop for £25m Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain'

Liverpool have reportedly made an enquiry regarding the availability of Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The Reds have been linked to the 23-year-old over the past few weeks, and now speculation is likely to intensify following reports that negotiations over a new contract have hit a snag.

According to The Mirror, Arsenal have always be keen to keep hold of the England international, but they are now considering selling due to a lack of progress in contract talks.

It is believed that Liverpool have now contacted the club regarding a possible deal for Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is valued at around £25m.

Manchester City and Chelsea have also been linked to the former Southampton player, who has one year remaining on his current contract.
