Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is reportedly attracting interest from Aston Villa as his Liverpool contract comes to an end.
It was confirmed last month the 29-year-old would be leaving the Reds this summer upon the expiration of his current deal, along with James Milner and Naby Keita. Making a strong impact during his first season with the club in 2017/18, repeated injury setbacks prevented Oxlade-Chamberlain from becoming a key player for Jurgen Klopp.
The next step for Milner and Keita has already become clear, the former set to join Brighton and the latter signing for Werder Bremen, and it now seems Oxlade-Chamberlain is on the verge of finding himself a new club.
After striking a deal to sign another free agent in the form of Youri Tielemans, Villa are said to have their eyes on Oxlade-Chamberlain. That is according to talkSPORT, who state the Champions League winner has 'held talks' with Unai Emery's side.

Villa enjoyed a strong finish last term to secure European football for the 2023/24 season and will be expected to progress deep into the competition due to Emery's past success in the Europa League at former clubs. This time, the Spaniard will be looking to deliver success in the Conference League, a competition recently won by West Ham United.
Liverpool, meanwhile, finished six points clear of the West Midlands club to secure Europa League football for the first time since 2015/16 - Jurgen Klopp's first campaign at the club.
