DONE DEAL✅ Aston Villa has signed Liverpool midfielder  Alex Oxlade-

According to Football Insider, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain wants to join Aston Villa ahead of next season. With his time at Liverpool almost up, the 29-year-old is looking to join Unai Emery’s team. As per the report, he has already informed his friends about the move.

Oxlade-Chamberlain’s contract at the Merseyside club will expire at the end of the month. It was pretty clear that Liverpool won’t push for a renewal as they want to revamp their midfield ahead of next season.

While the 29-year-old was an integral part of their first team for quite a few years, his game time had reduced over the past few seasons. He was on the decline and couldn’t meet the demands of the German manager, Jurgen Klopp.

The England international featured in a total of just 13 matches for the Reds and was on the pitch for less than 500 minutes in the recently concluded season. He was no longer an important part of their first team setup and Klopp had decided to move on quite a few weeks back.

The player was informed about the decision and he was not the only midfielder who was shown the exit door. Naby Keita and James Milner also left the club after years of service. With the three leaving, Liverpool are now looking for a midfield overhaul to revive themselves after a disappointing season.

Oxlade-Chamberlain is set to be a free agent at the end of the month and he has quite a few offers to choose from. However, it seems the 29-year-old has already made a decision. He is keen on joining Aston Villa and has already informed his friends.

Villa have done wonders under Unai Emery who is now looking to take the next step by signing experienced Premier League players ahead of next season. They have already acquired Youri Tielemans and now want to sign Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Emery is a big admirer of the 29-year-old and he believes Oxlade-Chamberlain’s experience could come in handy. The Spanish manager is a big fan of his versatility and has managed to convince the Liverpool midfielder to join the club.

‘BIGGER CLUB’: SIMON JORDAN BACKS CHELSEA STAR TO JOIN ASTON VILLA, NOT PL RIVALS IN EUROPE

Simon Jordan has backed Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher to join Unai Emery’s Aston Villa over Brighton and Hove Albion.

It was suggested to the former Crystal Palace owner that Conor Gallagher is wanted by Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton.

But he added that he would be ‘surprised’ if the Chelsea midfielder moved to the Amex Stadium, and instead, he expects a move to teams that are ‘bigger and bolder’ like Aston Villa, as he told talkSPORT (15/06/23 at 11:45 am)..

With new boss Mauricio Pochettino being able to field two or three first-team players, it’s pretty obvious that a clear-out is needed at Stamford Bridge this summer.

That’s why the future of someone like Gallagher, who is also an England international, is being questioned, with Liverpool also emerging as a surprise candidate to sign the player this summer.

Even though both Villa and Brighton are in Europe this term, Jordan explained why a move to the Midlands is better than going to the South Coast.

“There is one thing going out on loan to Crystal Palace,” said Jordan. “It’s another thing signing, you have been a moderate regular at Chelsea this season.

“Chelsea are now in a bit of a funk and they are expected to come back and be strong again next season. I would be surprised if he went to Brighton. I think he will be looking for a different kind of move. I understand the argument around Robert De Zerbi and the achievements of Brighton.

On where Gallagher would go: “It depends who is in the market for him. If the option is put to him, ‘Brighton or nowhere’, then you might find yourself at Brighton.

“But if there are a variety of different football clubs, like the Aston Villa’s of the world that might be in for him. Maybe it’s the Palace-Brighton thing.

On Brighton being in Europe, just like Villa: “I get it. But Brighton are having their moment. They are having a wonderful moment and they are a wonderfully run football club. But I think there will be a levelling off from the sides that have done remarkably well against the sides that traditionally are bigger, better and bolder football clubs.”

Gallagher needs to leave Chelsea
The 23-year-old can consider himself lucky that he gets picked for England because his minutes, nor his form, this season warrant it.

But when he was starting on a regular basis at Crystal Palace, he deservedly broke into the England set-up and proved his worth.

An all-action midfielder, with energy to burn, strong in a tackle and an eye for a goal, he needs to leave Chelsea in order to take his game to the next level because he won’t progress in the chaos of that club.
