# Liverpool: West Ham make fresh move for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

**West Ham have reportedly made a fresh bid for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, but Liverpool are still not willing to sell the midfielder this summer.**

### The Lowdown: Peripheral figure for Reds

The 27-year-old only featured sporadically for the Reds last season, making [just two starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/84146/Show/Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain) in the Premier League, partly due to [injuries](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-oxlade-chamberlain/verletzungen/spieler/143424).

Oxlade-Chamberlain has never quite been the same player since damaging his cruciate ligament back in 2018, struggling to be a regular starter under Jurgen Klopp.

### The Latest: West Ham make new bid

The midfielder has been [linked](https://www.anfieldcentral.co.uk/posts/exclusive-oxlade-chamberlain-desire-for-game-time-key-to-his-future/) with a move to West Ham in the past and it is now claimed by [*Anfield Central*](https://www.anfieldcentral.co.uk/posts/liverpool-do-not-want-to-sell-alex-oxlade-chamberlain/) that the Hammers have tabled a fresh bid for him.

Liverpool remain keen on keep hold of Oxlade-Chamberlain, however, and will only let him leave if he tells the club he wants to move on.

### The Verdict: Keep hold of Ox

While Oxlade-Chamberlain’s injury problems have been frustrating, along with some inconsistent form, it would still be best for Liverpool to retain his services, with Jurgen Klopp [calling](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2019/11/jurgen-klopp-praises-ox-mentality-agrees-theres-quite-some-space-for-improvement/) him ‘outstanding’ in the past.

As he showed late on in the season at Burnley, he is capable of chipping in with key goals from midfield, with only Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino beating his tally of [eight](https://www.lfchistory.net/SeasonArchive/Goalscorers/129) in the title-winning 2019/20 season.

If the fitness issues persist, next summer may be time to think about moving Oxlade-Chamberlain on, with his current Liverpool deal [expiring](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-oxlade-chamberlain/profil/spieler/143424) in 2023.
