Liverpool have opened talks with Arsenal over a move for midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old England international\u00a0rejected a move to Chelsea\u00a0on Tuesday after a \u00a340m fee was agreed.<\/p>\n
Oxlade-Chamberlain sees his future as a central midfielder and feels he is more likely to get that chance at Anfield.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool are prepared to match Chelsea’s offer for a player who would be available on a free transfer next summer.<\/p>\n
Oxlade-Chamberlain has started each of Arsenal’s four games so far this season despite telling manager Arsene Wenger he would not sign a new contract.<\/p>\n
He was applauded warmly by the Liverpool fans after he was substituted during Arsenal’s 4-0 defeat at Anfield on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The midfielder has made 198 appearances for Arsenal since joining them from Southampton in August 2011.<\/p>\n
Liverpool have been pursuing Monaco’s \u00a375m-rated winger Thomas Lemar, but it is unlikely they would sign both players.<\/p>\n
