Despite the £40m agreement reached between Chelsea and Arsenal, winger, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has turned down a move to Chelsea.

It was reported that Oxlade-Chamberlain believes Chelsea planned to use him at wing-back, and his primary reason for wanting to leave Arsenal is to play in central midfield.

The 24-year-old England international is now reported to favour a move to move to Liverpool, and not Chelsea.

A bid from Liverpool is expected before tomorrow’s transfer deadline, although it is likely to be below the price Chelsea were willing to pay.

Should a move not transpire, Oxlade-Chamberlain will see out the final year of his contract before potentially leaving on a free transfer next summer.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte had made it clear that he wanted to add further to his squad before the transfer window closes tomorrow.

Oxlade-Chamberlain has now made 198 appearances for Arsenal since joining them from Southampton at a month like this in 2011.
