Aston Villa consider bid for Liverpool midfielder as Steven Gerrard 'huge fan' claim made

Aston Villa are the latest team to be linked with a summer move for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The Liverpool midfielder has lost his place in the first-team and has struggled for game time over the course of the season. Only one league start since January and 19 across the past two seasons, the England international has been tipped with a transfer away from Anfield.

Manchester United are among a host of teams that have been reported with an approach for the 28-year-old and Villa are the latest team to show interest in the former Arsenal star. According to a Football Insider source, ex-Reds skipper Steven Gerrard is a 'huge' fan of the versatile star.

Signed for £35million in 2017, Oxlade-Chamberlain has performed in a variety of roles under Jurgen Klopp and has helped Liverpool win a range of trophies, from the UEFA Champions League to the Premier League. This season, the midfielder contributed three goals and assists across 29 appearances.

But with a year left on his contract, the Reds could cash in on him now and not risk losing him on a free. Currently valued at £16.2million by transfermarkt, transfer rumours have speculated that he could leave Merseyside for £10m.
