West Ham should go all out to rescue Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from his Liverpool nightmare in the January transfer window.

The Mirror claimed in the summer transfer window that Hammers boss David Moyes was trying to prise the Liverpool ace away from Anfield.

And Jurgen Klopp would allegedly allow him to leave for just £10 million.

Moyes desperately needs to bolster his ranks at the London Stadium in January and in my opinion, the Ox would be a solid addition for £10 million, considering how many positions he can actually play in.

West Ham are weak in midfield and in the wide attacking areas, with much more strength in depth required. An the Liverpool man could slot in perfectly with the Hammers…

The Reds star could be a really useful addition for the Hammers in the January transfer window as far as I’m concerned.

He joined Liverpool from Arsenal in the summer of 2017 for around £35 million (BBC).

Oxlade-Chamberlain hasn’t had the impact that was expected of him on Merseyside, however.

Having said that, the Liverpool ace would be given more of a key role at West Ham. And as long as he can remain injury free, he would be a superb addition for us.

The 29-year-old is incredibly versatile. He can operate as a box-to-box midfielder, further forward in a play-making role or on either wing.

The Ox, who earns £110k-a-week (Football League FC) possesses blistering pace and he is incredibly powerful. He has all of the attributes needed to excel in the central midfield role and the Liverpool ace would provide West Ham with another truly top class option in the middle of the park.

The Liverpool man has experienced problems with injuries in the past and that will be somewhat of a concern for the Hammers.

If he can manage his fitness properly though, he could be a useful addition for West Ham. Former Arsenal teammate Aaron Ramsey described the Ox as ‘very explosive’ (Arsenal’s website).

Oxlade-Chamberlain will be desperate to play regular football during the second half of this season. At 29, he may well still harbour ambitions of forcing his way back into the England squad.

£10 million for the Liverpool ace seems like decent value to us. West Ham must rescue Oxlade-Chamberlain from his Liverpool nightmare in my opinion.
