Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is set to be offered an extension on his current deal at Liverpool, according to the Daily Mail.
The 25-year-old has suffered a nightmare 12 months with injury, having damaged his cruciate ligament in the Champions League clash with Roma last April.
The popular midfielder is now back fit again, however, and made his first appearance of the season in the Reds’ 5-0 win over Huddersfield last Friday.
Although there have been concerns about whether or not Oxlade-Chamberlain would return the same player after injury, the club clearly see him as a long-term key man.
They reportedly want to add an extra year to his contract, taking him through to 2023.
Oxlade-Chamberlain could be named in Liverpool’s squad for Wednesday’s huge Champions League semi-final first leg clash with Barcelona at Camp Nou.
He is still not ready to be starting big games, but could potentially make an impact off the substitutes’ bench.
