Liverpool’s transfer market ongoings certainly have caught the attention of many. While we may struggle to keep hold of Philippe Coutinho, there are a number of deals on the way, according to the experts.
Virgil van Dijk is still a player linked with a move to Anfield, while Thomas Lemar could be a deadline day signing, if things go right. We are also linked with a move for an Arsenal star, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The 24-year-old has rejected a move to Chelsea as he feared he would be played as a wing-back and prefers a move to us given that he could be deployed as a central midfielder.
A lot of sources have confirmed that a £35million deal has been agreed. Liverpool Echo’s James Pearce was one of them, as he took Twitter to confirm the deal.
Done deal. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain joining #LFC from Arsenal. He will undergo a medical at St George's Park tonight. Fee around £35m

And things seem to have been completed for the 24-year-old as the BBC reported that the player has infact switched one red jersey for another for £40m.
Done deal ✅

Twitter went crazy as Liverpool fans had a mixed reaction to the deal. There were a number of great reactions from fans on the deal and here are some of the best ones.
I like Oxlade-Chamberlain as a player and if/when he joins of course I’ll get 100% behind him, I’d just rather have Lemar that’s all. #LFC

This Oxlade Chamberlain business of wanting to play CM is very funny because Naby Keita is coming to kick him out of it next year.

If we can manage to get Lemar, Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Van Dijk, I might actually cry! #LFC

If LFC do sign Oxlade-Chamberlain, these stats must have evaded Michael Edward’s computer. PL goals: 16/17- 2. 15/16- 1. 14/15- 1. 13/14-2

I’d rather sign Oxlade-Chamberlain and VVD than just sign Lemar, which appears to be the situation ATM. VVD still priority #LFC
