Liverpool are apparently willing to listen to offers for reported Aston Villa target Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. 

The lowdown

The Daily Mirror's chief football writer John Cross wrote late in May that Villa are keen to sign Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Villa are said to be on 'red alert' as they potentially look to pounce on a player Steven Gerrard has 'long' admired.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has won the Premier League and Champions League at Anfield, is out of contract in 2023.

Cross suggested that an offer in excess of £10million may be enough to tempt Liverpool.

The latest

Paul Joyce, Northern Football Correspondent for The Times, shared an update on Oxlade-Chamberlain in an article on Monday.

The Reds will allow the Englishman to depart the club this summer if they receive a suitable bid.

The verdict

Oxlade-Chamberlain will surely be open to departing. His last appearance of the 2021/22 season came in an FA Cup quarterfinal against Nottingham Forest on March 20.

This isn't doing his hopes of adding to his 35 England caps any good whatsoever.

The 28-year-old is a highly versatile player, having been deployed in central midfield and on both flanks.

Jurgen Klopp even fielded him as a centre-forward when Aston Villa visited Anfield in December 2021.

Gerrard would potentially value this, while he's also commended the player's 'power', 'speed' and 'class' during a punditry stint at BT Sport.

Oxlade-Chamberlain even said during his time at Arsenal that he's 'always wanted to be Steven Gerrard', and so he may relish the chance to work with him.
