Paul Joyce: Klopp now green-lights sale of 'spectacular' Liverpool player

Liverpool will listen to offers for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain during the summer transfer window, reliable journalist Paul Joyce has confirmed.

The Reds may have had a season to remember, with a treble still possible, but one player who has struggled to make any kind of impact is Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The 28-year-old hasn’t played a single minute of action since the FA Cup clash with Nottingham Forest back in March, also making just nine Premier League starts all season.

Oxlade-Chamberlain appears to be surplus to requirements under Jurgen Klopp, with a summer exit in the offing.

Writing for The Times, Joyce claimed that Liverpool are happy for the midfielder to move on at the end of the season, having fallen completely out of favour:

“Liverpool will listen to offers for the 28-year-old, who has one year remaining on his contract.”

It makes complete sense for everyone concerned for Oxlade-Chamberlain to depart Liverpool this summer, allowing the Reds to receive a fee and the player to become a regular elsewhere.

His current deal expires in 2023, so this is their last chance to get significant money for the former Arsenal man before losing him on a free next year.

Oxlade-Chamberlain’s Liverpool career has certainly fizzled out in recent times but he should still be remembered as a solid signing who has played a part in the Reds’ great success under Klopp, with the manager himself describing his player as ‘spectacular’.
