West Ham United are considering a loan spell for Liverpool assistant Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer.
The Hammers want to strengthen their group and build on last season’s excellent sixth place, and they have been linked to a number of fringe players from the Premier League top team.

The latest name linked to a move to West Ham is Oxlade-Chamberlain, where ExWHUemployee says the 27-year-old is on David Moyes’ radar as a potential price alternative to his two top goalscorers, Jesse Lingard and Matheus. Pereira.
The story was then picked up by The Express, which suggests that Oxlade-Chamberlain could be made available for transfer as Jurgen Klopp plans to rebuild his squad this summer.
Now 27 and with two years left on his contract, Liverpool will soon have to make a decision about the future of Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is in a similar boat to other older stars like Jordan Henderson, but without the certainty of being a regular starter.
Oxlade-Chamberlain played just 13 Premier League games last year, two of which lasted more than half an hour, with injuries that definitely worked against him.
Since 2011, he has managed more than 30 gigs in just two seasons, both of which happen to be with Liverpool, and the Reds must now decide if they see a future for him at Anfield.
Unfortunately for Oxlade-Chamberlain, this situation may not even be left to Klopp. The boss’s desire to keep Georginio Wijnaldum fell on deaf ears, as did his call to see Henderson tied to a new contract immediately.

The club’s owner, Fenway Sports Group, grows worried about the amount of aging players in the squad and is reluctant to spend a lot of money on them, and you get the feeling that a soon-to-be 28-year-old with Oxlade-Chamberlain’s sketchy injury history may not be the most attractive asset. for them.
If they let Oxlade-Chamberlain go, a permanent sale would obviously be their preferred outcome, but a loan offer from West Ham may well be as good as they can get in this market.
