And the majority of them are not happy whatsoever.
According to Football Insider, David Moyes wants to bring Oxlade-Chamberlain to the London Stadium this summer.
Should Hammers avoid the Ox?
On the fact of it, the 27-year-old would be a decent addition for West Ham. He has pace and power in abundance and when he’s on his best form there aren’t many better in England.
Delve a little deeper, however, and there are plenty of warning signs.
The versatile ace has only made 33 Premier League starts for Liverpool since moving to Anfield in the summer of 2017.
That really isn’t good enough for a player who cost £35 million when the Reds signed him from Arsenal (BBC).
The Ox is far from robust and regularly breaks down with injuries. He won’t come cheap either.
Football Insider claims the Reds midfielder will cost in excess of £20 million. He earns around £120k-a-week as well (Spotrac). There is absolutely no way that we should be paying injury prone players those kind of salaries any more. It has just got to stop.
