Report: Klopp is willing to sell Liverpool midfielder who scored one goal last season – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is willing to sell Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer according to a report from The Express.
The 27-year-old joined the Reds from Arsenal in the summer of 2017 for around £35 million (BBC).
The Ox has never lived up to expectations at Liverpool, however.
His time at Anfield has been plagued by injuries. Since joining the Merseyside outfit four years ago, the 35-capped England International has missed 493 days of action.
He has just two years remaining on his current contract. So it’s getting to the point where Liverpool either offer him a new deal or move him on.
Jurgen Klopp makes Oxlade-Chamberlain decision
The Express reckons that the German has decided to sell the Ox this summer.
The attacking midfielder, who earns £110k-a-week at Anfield according to FLFC, has contributed little to Klopp’s team since moving to Merseyside.
Moving him on would 100 per cent be the right decision this summer.
Whether there are any clubs out there willing to pay a substantial fee for the former Arsenal man remains to be seen, however.
West Ham are said to be interested in Oxlade-Chamberlain (The Express) but given the East London club’s financial situation, a big money bid is unlikely.

Much will depend on how much FSG are prepared to lose on their original £35 million investment.
