If no agreement can be reached, however, Oxlade-Chamberlain will stay at Arsenal. However, Sky Sports News understands the 24-year-old favours a move to Liverpool ahead of Thursday's transfer deadline. Oxlade-Chamberlain is out of contract at the end of the season and is n

Liverpool have confirmed the agreement of a club-record deal to sign RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita next summer. The Reds will pay the £48m release clause that will allow Keita to join the club, as well as an undisclosed premium. Keita completed a medical on Monday and will officially join Liverpool on July 1 next year. The fee will also surpass the £39.5m paid to Roma for Mohamed Salah this summer.

"My commitment to RBL remains absolute for the remainder of my time at the club.

"Having my future resolved means I can now focus on helping RBL achieve great things this season. Until I join my new club, next summer, I will remain an interested supporter from a distance." Li
