# Virals: West Ham make approach for Liverpool ace Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/05/19/virals-david-moyes-confirms-contract-talks-are-at-advanced-stage/) have reportedly made an approach to discover the availability of Liverpool midfielder [Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/05/04/virals-borussia-dortmund-interested-in-alex-oxlade-chamberlain/) this summer.

The Hammers could look to bolster their ranks at the end of the season having [suffered in recent weeks](https://www.skysports.com/west-ham-united-results) with injuries and subsequent lack of squad depth.

David Moyes could look towards [out of favour Anfield ace](https://www.sofascore.com/player/alex-oxlade-chamberlain/10577) Oxlade-Chamberlain as a potential option – with the dynamic midfielder struggling to hold down a regular place in Jurgen Klopp’s plans.

This comes following a report from [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-west-ham-make-approach-to-sign-liverpool-star-oxlade-chamberlain-as-asking-price-revealed/), as cited by [West Ham Central](https://twitter.com/WestHam_Central/status/1394926744902291463) on Twitter, claiming the Irons have already made contact regarding the [35-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-oxlade-chamberlain/nationalmannschaft/spieler/143424/verein_id/3299) England man.

Oxlade-Chamberlain has found himself on the fringes at Anfield this season, appearing just [15 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-oxlade-chamberlain/leistungsdaten/spieler/143424) in all competitions.

Albeit often plagued by injury, the 27-year-old has enjoyed a successful time on Merseyside, lifting both the [Premier League and Champions League](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-oxlade-chamberlain/erfolge/spieler/143424) trophy.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Signing Oxlade-Chamberlain would certainly offer Moyes additional versatility in the [squad](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad) at the London Stadium.

Capable of playing both centrally as a midfielder and as a wideman in the frontline, the former Arsenal star likes to produce an attacking[style of play](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/84146/Show/Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain) – one that would complement the likes of Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek nicely.

With the likes of Manuel Lanzini and Felipe Anderson [unlikely to play a part next season](https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/transfer-news/lanzini-psg-transfer-west-ham-20261606) for the Hammers, a fully fit ‘Ox’ could prove to be a shrewd signing at the mooted £22m valuation.
