Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Arsenal ace spotted in Liverpool training kit
ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN has been spotted in Liverpool training gear as he completes his £40million transfer from Arsenal.

Oxlade-Chamberlain underwent his medical at England’s St George's Park HQ and an announcement is expected to be made tomorrow.
A move to Liverpool was the 24-year-old preference despite Chelsea agreeing a deal with Arsenal.
He will be Liverpool’s second signing of the week after they agreed to sign RB Leipzig's Naby Keita next summer for £48m.
And manager Jurgen Klopp is not prepared to stop there in his transfer business.
Liverpool also believe they can seal deals for Virgil van Dijk and Thomas Lemar on the final day of the window.

Oxlade-Chamberlain’s departure from Arsenal comes after he refused a new contract worth £180,000-a-week.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger had been confident of keeping hold of the England international last week.
But the 4-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday forced a change of heart at the Emirates and the decision was made to cash in on Oxlade-Chamberlain.

It means Wenger will face serious questions about his ability to manage a fractured Arsenal squad.
And the final day of the transfer window could see the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Shkodran Mustafi, Lucas Perez and Joel Campbell all leave the Emirates.
