Oxlade-Chamberlain's teammates, however, are said to think that he favours a switch to Merseyside rather than rule the gauntlet of switching allegiances between two London clubs - something former Gunners star Ashley Cole knows only too well.
Oxlade-Chamberlain is out of contract at the end of this season and Arsenal are reluctant to let him leave on a free transfer.
The 24-year-old attacker's contract is set to expire in the summer of 2018 with the player showing no indication of putting pen to paper in signing a new deal at the Emirates Stadium.
That would make it tough for Wenger to maintain his stance that Oxlade-Chamberlain will not be sold. Newcastle and Watford are weighing up a late move for Islam Slimani after Leicester tied down Leonardo Ulloa...
Ex-England goalkeeper Rob Green, 37, is having a medical at Huddersfield before joining them from Leeds. Some people look better informed than I am!
However, the Daily Mirror is now claiming that Liverpool are ready to step up their efforts to try to sign the midfielder before Thursday's transfer deadline.
The Mail claim the Merseyside giants have already made a "serious" move for the England worldwide ahead of transfer deadline day as the battle for his signature hots up.
Chelsea will try to hijack Tottenham's move for Ross Barkley and hold talks with Everton this weekend. The fact that he goes into the a year ago of his contract does not mean we have no chance to extend it. Paris Saint-Germain have concluded an agreement with AS Monaco to sign Kylian Mbappe and Fabinho from the Ligue 1 champions... Juventus and Inter Milan are interested.
