Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain told to ‘get out’ of Liverpool as two signings lined up – pundit
Alan Hutton has claimed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain no longer has a future at Liverpool.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Tottenham and Aston Villa defender said the January window would be a good time for Oxlade-Chamberlain to “get out”.
On 16 November, sources told this site that the Reds are set to put the 29-year-old up for sale ahead of the winter window.
The midfielder’s contract expires at the end of the season and the club are not planning to offer him an extension.
Football Insider revealed on Sunday that Liverpool are working on recruiting two new midfielders next year, including one who will slot straight into the starting XI.
The former England international only recently returned to action for Jurgen Klopp’s team after another injury saw him sidelined for most of the first half of the season.
Hutton suggested now would be a good time for the former Southampton man to get out.
“I think for him the best thing to do would be to go and play football,” he told Football Insider.
“However you want to do that, whether that be try and break into the Liverpool team which will be really hard.
“If somebody comes in in January I think he will definitely think about it.
“When you have been out for such a long time all you want to do is play football. He is going to find it hard at this moment in time to get into that Liverpool starting lineup.
“It could be a good time for him to get out and play football. I think there will be a lot of suitors for him. I do not see his long-term future at Liverpool anymore.“
