Midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been told there's 'no better place' than Liverpool amid reports linking him with a move away from Anfield.
The 28-year-old only has one year left on his contract and his limited game time last season has seen him linked with other Premier League sides. Aston Villa reportedly hold an interest, while West Ham have also been tipped to make a move.
However, it is understood the England international remains part of Jurgen Klopp 's plans for next season with plans to sign a midfielder put on hold until 2023. If he's able to keep his injury concerns behind him, he could have a part to play in the upcoming campaign as Liverpool look to fight on all fronts once again.

Amid the rumours, ex-West Ham shotstopper Shaka Hislop has warned there is 'no better place' than Liverpool and that Oxlade-Chamberlain may only be a squad player, not matter who he plays for.
Hislop told ESPN: "I think Oxlade-Chamberlain can challenge himself a bit more. He’s a player I really like a lot, he can challenge himself a lot (but) injuries are a concern. Who’s willing to take that gamble?
"He’s started nine league games last season, he only started two this calendar year, what kind of service do you get out of Oxlade-Chamberlain? If Oxlade-Chamberlain recognises that because of his injury history, because of how he may have to train, rehab, Liverpool are willing to stick by him to offer him all the support he needs.
"He’s at a great football club, if he recognises he can only get 12 or 15 games a season regardless of who it is, if you’re going to get 12 or 15 games a season there’s no better place than Liverpool."
Last season, Oxlade-Chamberlain made 28 appearances in all competitions and only 17 of those came in the league. He scored three goals and registered three assists.
