Struggling Liverpool star told to complete transfer to PL rivals.
While speaking to BettingOdds.com (h/t Leicestershire Live) in an interview, John Barnes recommended that Liverpool midfielder, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, should look to complete a move to Leicester City or West Ham United in the summer.
Liverpool granted on a deal with Arsenal to sign Oxlade-Chamberlain in 2017 for a £40m fee. While he had an immeasurable start to life at Liverpool, injuries limited his game-time.
The Englishman made just two starts in the Premier League this season after an injury hindered his start to the campaign. Even when he was ready for selection, Klopp did not choose him constantly in the starting XI.
And Liverpool legend, John Barnes, believes that a move to Leicester City or West Ham United would be satisfied for the 27-year-old. However, he favoured the Foxes due to them being more stable than the Hammers.
“I think Leicester or West Ham. Leicester would probably be a bit better suited because they’re more stable than West Ham as they know that they will be in the top seven most seasons, which isn’t the case for West Ham. However, if he wanted to go back down south then I think West Ham would be a good move for Alex, too.”

It remains to be seen what position the Reds take concerning the sale of another midfielder from their club. Georginio Wijnaldum has already sealed a move to PSG after not renewing his Anfield deal.
If Oxlade-Chamberlain follows, and the Reds disappoint to sign a replacement for him in the summer transfer window, then Jurgen Klopp could find himself in a difficult situation if injuries or fatigue ends up affecting his team.
Oxlade-Chamberlain, notwithstanding his struggles, has moments of charm in him that can turn the game in his side’s favor. Take for example his strikes against Manchester City in his debut season for Liverpool in the Premier League as well as the UEFA Champions League.
If he remains at Liverpool and does not sustain another injury setback, Klopp could have a very versatile midfielder at his disposition as his side competes for trophies on four fronts.
