Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is set for a medical ahead of a move from Arsenal to Liverpool, a report claims.

Sky Sports are reporting that Liverpool have agreed a fee with Arsenal to sign the midfielder, believing the fee is around £40m.

Meanwhile, James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo states that Oxlade-Chamberlain will undergo a medical at St George’s Park tonight ahead of a £35m move.

The 24-year-old is currently with the England setup hence the location of his medical after the clubs reached an agreement on Wednesday afternoon.

Sky claims that personal terms are yet to be agreed but it’s anticipated that ‘Ox’ will move to Anfield on a six-year deal.

Oxlade-Chamberlain reportedly turned down Chelsea after being told by Antonio Conte that he would compete with Victor Moses for the right wing-back spot and not play in his favoured central midfield role.
