# West Ham United: GSB make fresh approach for Oxlade-Chamberlain

**According to a report by [Anfield Central](https://www.anfieldcentral.co.uk/posts/liverpool-do-not-want-to-sell-alex-oxlade-chamberlain/), West Ham United have now made a fresh approach to sign Liverpool attacker Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.**

### The Lowdown: The Ox and the Hammers…

The Englishman has recently been linked with a move to east London following a frustrating season under Jurgen Klopp on Merseyside.

Oxlade-Chamberlain spent a large portion of the 2020/2021 campaign[out through injury](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-oxlade-chamberlain/verletzungen/spieler/143424) and the second half only [featuring sporadically](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/84146/Show/Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain) in midfield.

News then emerged of [GSB’s interest](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-west-ham-make-approach-to-sign-liverpool-star-oxlade-chamberlain-as-asking-price-revealed/) in the former Arsenal star as manager David Moyes aims to bolster the squad for next season.

The Irons will need more strength in depth, especially as they [enter the Europa League group stages](https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/news/west-ham-europa-league-opponents-20669631) for 2021/2022.

### The Latest: GSB have now made fresh approach…

As per Anfield Central, the Hammers have now made a fresh approach to sign Oxlade-Chamberlain for next season – but Liverpool have taken a firm stance.

According to the outlet, Klopp and co do not want to sell the 27-year-old and will only do so if the player himself asks to leave Merseyside.

Moyes is said to be an admirer of Oxlade-Chamberlain and believes the [£120,000-per-week attacker](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/liverpool-fc/payroll/) can succeed at West Ham.

Alas, as it stands, this report indicates that Liverpool will fight tooth and nail to keep him.

### The Verdict: Not a priority…

While Oxlade-Chamberlain is arguably a proven player in the Premier League and still has plenty of years before his sell-by date, Moyes should have other priorities this summer.

Among them, signing a new centre-forward and completing a permanent deal for Jesse Lingard should be taking precedent.

The ex-Southampton man could prove useful for Moyes given he [can play on both wings or in midfield](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-oxlade-chamberlain/profil/spieler/143424), but he certainly shouldn’t be at the forefront of West Ham’s plans.

Lauded as an ‘[outstanding player](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/football/2020/dec/11/alex-oxlade-chamberlain-can-recapture-peak-form-says-jurgen-klopp)‘ by Klopp, however, it will be interesting to see how this unfolds over the summer if GSB and co decide to take a risk on the injury prone but talented ace.
