# Arsenal ready to sell Liverpool target Chamberlain

Liverpool have been reportedly chasing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for a number of months now but they have received a boost in their pursuit of the Arsenal winger.

According to the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4635064/Transfer-news-LIVE-Man-United-Arsenal-Chelsea-latest.html), Arsenal are now ready to offload the England international this summer in a bid to trim their wage bill.

With the Premier League introducing new cost control measures, Arsenal are keen to shrink their expenditure on player wages and Oxlade-Chamberlain is one of the most likely candidates to face the axe.

The two parties had been in talks over a new contract at the Emirates but there’s been no positive movement on this ground for some time.

With his deal up next summer, the Gunners are now ready to cash-in on the versatile midfielder, with Liverpool ready to make their move.

It’s believed that [Liverpool are likely to sign the winger](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2017/06/23/liverpool-likely-sign-oxlade-chamberlain/) in a £25m deal this summer, fending off interest from Chelsea.
