Transfer DONE!! Liverpool Confirm Signing Of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain From Arsenal

 
Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher, has confirmed that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has signed for the club.
Carragher wrote on his Twitter page: “Tried to persuade AOC to join @LFC when he was a kid, obviously Klopp is more persuasive! Interested how he gets him into CM after Sunday!!”
Oxlade-Chamberlain underwent a medical with Liverpool on Wednesday evening, after both clubs agreed a fee of £40million , according to Sky sources.
The 24-year-old is set to join Liverpool on a five-year deal after the two clubs struck a deal.
The player turned down a new improved deal at Arsenal earlier this month which would have seen him earn £180,000 a week. He will earn a minimum of £120,000 a week at Anfield, a figure which could increase with win bonuses and loyalty payments.
The Gunners agreed a deal with Chelsea for Oxlade-Chamberlain earlier this week, but the midfielder rejected the chance to join the Blues in favour of a move to Anfield.

Transfer News!! Chelsea Agree Fee With Arsenal For Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

  Chelsea have kickstarted a frantic scramble for reinforcements in the final week of the summer transfer window by agreeing a fee of around £35m with Arsenal for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, with the player potentially the first of three England internationals destined for Stamford Bridge before the cut-off on Thursday. Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has entered the final 12 months of his contract, had been offered new and improved terms to commit his future to Arsenal but made clear towards the end of last week that his preference was to seek a new challenge having apparently grown frustrated at the role he was being asked to play in the team. He was still selected for the 4-0 thrashing at Liverpool on Sunday and will depart despite Arsène Wenger having suggested this summer that the 24-year-old would “100%” stay at the Emirates Stadium. The manager’s hand appears to have been forced in the period since with the club’s hierarchy not prepared to lose Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mesut Özil and

Mediawatch: Mourinho forgetfulness, Bilic silliness

  Zlat guy Did you arise on Friday morning and believe that the Champions League group stage draw was the biggest overnight story in football? Or perhaps that an actual match – Everton drawing with Hadjuk Split – was worthy of the most coverage? You were mistaken. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the big story here. The  Daily Mirror   go with: ‘IBRACADABRA: MY MAGIC WILL FIRE RED DEVILS TO THE TITLE’. He’s back. And so are the laboured headlines. Rejoice  Mile-high club Speaking of Ibrahimovic, Martin Samuel has penned a column in the  Daily Mail  largely dedicated to declaring the striker as ‘the man’. One line in particular stood out to Mediawatch however. ‘A manager engaging in all competitions – and Mourinho always does – needs a big squad,’ Samuel writes of a man who suggested as early as March last season that he would be resting players in the Premier League, thereby prioritising progress in the Europa League. “The Europa League is very difficult but it’s a target for us

  Arsene Wenger might be hoping to lure German forward, Draxler to Arsenal as a possible replacement for want-away striker, Sanchez. Barcelona have opened deadline-day talks with Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez, according to AS and the Algerian is reported to have travelled to the Catalan capital. The Blaugrana are still hopeful of signing Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho, but they have now identified Mahrez as an alternative.
