  Liverpool have agreed a £40million deal with Arsenal to sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. BBC’s David Ornstein revealed this on Twitter on Wednesday evening. He tweeted: “Liverpool have agreed a deal with Arsenal to sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for £40m #AFC #LFC “Oxlade-Chamberlain to sign 6yr deal with #LFC & becomes Arsenal’s all-time record departure fee. Unlikely that #AFC will sign a replacement.” Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has opened the way for Liverpool to bid for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, by telling the player he is no longer wanted at the Emirates Stadium. Oxlade-Chamberlain has informed the Gunners that he does not want to move to Chelsea despite the clubs agreeing a £35million deal on Monday. The England winger wants a switch to Anfield, where he believes Jürgen Klopp, will field him in his preferred central midfield position.

  Liverpool defender, Dejan Lovren says Liverpool has the most dangerous attack in the Premier League. Lovren said the Red’s trio of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah are number one in England. The Croatian International also said it feels good to see Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Daniel Sturridge all on target as Liverpool routed Arsenal 4-0 on Sunday. “For me, they are the best, they caused Arsenal a lot of problems,” he said. “It’s a long season and we will see towards the end of the season who is in the first place, but you can see the difference those three players [Mane, Firmino and Salah] make. “I’m lucky that I don’t have to face them very often in training. It tends to be the guys who aren’t in the first-eleven,” he added. “All three of them are top players, they have pace and great quality. They are amazing. It would be quite difficult for any defender when you are up against Salah, Mane and Firmino.” The trio of Mane, Firmin...

  Former Barcelona and Arsenal icon, Thierry Henry has advised Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho to follow the same path taken by Luis Suarez, urging the Brazilian to remain at Anfield for one more season. Henry feels that putting in one more stellar season at Anfield will benefit both the player and the club. Speaking to Sky Sports, the Frenchman feels that Coutinho should remain with his current club and make a move to Spain next summer, just as Suarez did. He said, “It’s difficult for me to talk about [the Coutinho situation] because whenever I wanted to leave a club, I just left, so I don’t know what it’s like having to stay when you want to leave.” “I would advise him to do what Luis Suarez did. He wanted to leave, we all knew, though it wasn’t for the same club at the time. But he came back [for Liverpool], acted professionally and had an amazing season. He [Coutinho] strikes me as a similar type of guy. “Maybe he wants to go, but he should come back — Liverpool fan...

  Chelsea striker, Alvaro Morata has made a fast start to his career at Stamford Bridge, but is calling for more time to adapt to life in the Premier League. Morata’s start to his Chelsea career has not been perfect. He had a penalty saved in the Community Shield shootout loss to Arsenal and missed a free header in the win over Tottenham. The 24-year-old scored a goal in Sunday’s 2-0 Premier League win over Everton, making it his second goal in two games at Stamford Bridge. “I’m happy because I scored, I took an assist and the team won,” Morata told Chelsea’s official website. “It was an important win. At Stamford Bridge we need to win all the games or try to take the three points. “It’s important for me to play and to make adaptations to my game. It’s not easy: a new country, another language, another style of football,” Morata said. “I need time for all the things in the Premier League but I’m okay, my team-mates give me a hand to make it easy and I’m very happy t...

  Paris Saint-Germain defender, Serge Aurier, would prefer to join Manchester United over Tottenham. According to SFR Sport, Aurier is hoping that a move to Old Trafford will materializes, before the summer transfer window closes in three days. Spurs were reported to have agreed a £23million deal for the Ivorian full-back, but no move has been pushed through as yet. But United manager Jose Mourinho, is looking for a new player to compete with Antonio Valencia and Matteo Darmian for the right-back spot. Aurier has made 57 Ligue 1 appearances for PSG since joining the club in 2014, initially on loan from Toulouse before a permanent move was sealed in 2015.

  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 ...

  Real Madrid superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly told Real Madrid not to sign Chelsea’s Eden Hazard and Manchester United Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Hazard and Ibrahimovic could have moved to the Bernabeu but Ronaldo was alleged to be against the idea of another forward arriving and taking the limelight, according to Don Balon. Hazard was head coach, Zinedine Zidane’s top target but Ronaldo gave the club two reasons to avoid signing the Chelsea star. Ibrahimovic, currently recovering from a serious knee injury, was available on a free transfer after his United contract expired, Don said Ronaldo kicked again. Don Balon claimed super-agent Mino Raiola offered Real the chance to sign Ibrahimovic as a replacement for Alvaro Morata, who joined Chelsea for a club-record fee earlier this summer. But Ronaldo did not want the madcap Swede disrupting the dressing room harmony.
