The England winger has struggled to hold onto a first-team spot this term, with just 14 Premier League games to this name so far.
There have been question marks surrounding the 23-year-old's future at Arsenal with his contact due to expire at the end of next season.
The Telegraph claim Liverpool remain interested in Oxlade-Chamberlain and are not put off by his £35million price tag.

And now bookmakers Betfair have responded by pricing Liverpool as 5/1 favourites to sign the former Southampton youngster in the summer.
The Reds are expected to face competition for Oxlade-Chamberlain though, with West Ham (6/1), Everton (10/1) and Manchester United (12/1) also in the running.
Gunners manager Arsene Wenger recently admitted losing Oxlade-Chamberlain would do "big damage" to the club.

"I personally think it is vital that Chamberlain stays at Arsenal," he said.
"We bought him when he was very young, we have built him up and I think he has a great mentality.
"I like his mentality and he has a good football brain. It would be a big damage for us to lose this kind of player."
