Liverpool could sell Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to West Ham United for around £10 million in the summer transfer window.
That’s according to a report from The Mirror who claim that Hammers boss David Moyes is keen to bring the 28-year-old Liverpool man to the London Stadium this summer.

The Scot has been incredibly busy in the transfer market this summer already but seems to be intent on bolstering his ranks further still with the addition of the 28-year-old Liverpool midfielder.
We have to say, why on earth is Moyes even interested in the Ox? I thought that the Scot wanted to implement the Red Bull model at the London Stadium? Judging by our recent signings, and links with potential new arrivals, it seems like that is actually not the case at all.
The signing of the 28-year-old Reds man would enhance that viewpoint even further still…
Liverpool could sell Oxlade-Chamberlain Chamberlain to West Ham
The Mirror reckon that Moyes is on the hunt to bring the Ox back to London from Anfield this summer.
This would be a baffling move from the Scot and Liverpool would be laughing all the way to the bank if they manage to get £10 million for him this summer.
He has never really lived up to expectations at Anfield since joining the Reds from Arsenal in the summer of 2017 for around £35 million (BBC).
The Ox has a woeful injury record. And that will undoubtedly be a red flag for West Ham.
Since the start of the 2017/18 season, Oxlade-Chamberlain has missed 493 days of action for Liverpool (Transfermarkt).
That should be enough to make the alarm bells ring for the Hammers.
Liverpool midfielder Oxlade-Chamberlain was a very good young player in his day. He’s just not physically robust enough to succeed in the Premier League though and what’s more, he isn’t actually young any more in footballing terms.
He’ll be 29 next month!
The Premier League now is built around power, pace and physical robustness. The Ox had all of those attributes a few years ago. Unfortunately for him though, his body has let him down.
And if Liverpool end up selling Oxlade-Chamberlain to West Ham for £10 million, it will very much be them who are laughing.
The 28-year-old is out of contract with Liverpool next summer and even if we signed him on a free transfer then, I would still have my reservations!
