Liverpool fans to fume amid Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Everton latest
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is on Everton’s radar, with a free move being lined up.
Everton are set to be active in the January transfer market, and David Moyes is narrowing down his targets.
Moyes wants Everton to compete in Europe in the future, which will only be possible with the help of new additions.
Everton have produced some great results this season, but may require that extra something to secure a top-half Premier League finish.
And the experience of former Premier League winner Oxlade-Chamberlain could be exactly what Moyes needs.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain keeping fit amid Everton interest
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has just suffered a hamstring injury to the despair of Everton, with the midfielder a key player for Moyes.
Although the 27-year-old could be back fit in time for January, it highlights the need for depth in the centre of the park, which is where Oxlade-Chamberlain’s transfer could come into play.
- Oxlade-Chamberlain is a free agent after leaving Besiktas this summer
- He racked up 146 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 18 goals
- Oxlade-Chamberlain has also gained 35 caps for England throughout his career
According to Sports Boom, Oxlade-Chamberlain has emerged as a target for Everton, with Sunderland, Fulham and Leeds also interested.
The 32-year-old is said to have held “tentative” talks with a number of clubs, as the Englishman desires a Premier League return.
Oxlade-Chamberlain is training with his former club Arsenal to keep fit, and wishes for his next move to be closer to home.
He knows Merseyside well and may have to break Liverpool hearts to get a move to Everton.
Oxlade-Chamberlain interest is telling on Merlin Rohl’s future
While Oxlade-Chamberlain could be a huge coup for the Toffees on a free deal, his potential arrival would come at the expense of others.
Merlin Rohl has suffered with injuries so far since arriving on Merseyside this summer, and could already be on his way out.
Freiburg could try re-sign Rohl on a loan deal in the January window, with suggestions pointing towards the German’s departure.
Whether or not Everton decides to sign Oxlade-Chamberlain, supporters should still expect lots of movement in the midfield department in the coming weeks.
