Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Arsenal have been demanding £40m and Liverpool now expect to complete the deal before deadline.
A six-year deal has been reportedly agreed with the player, and a medical could take place this evening at St George's Park - where he is currently training with England ahead of their World Cup qualification double-header.
However, Oxlade-Chamberlain has permission to miss the England squad's flight tomorrow to Malta if he needs more time to complete the switch.
The Reds have beaten champions Chelsea to the transfer in what is a remarkable coup for manager Jurgen Klopp.
Chelsea are fuming over Oxlade-Chamberlain’s snub, as they had a deal agreed and yet the Arsenal midfielder chose to go to Anfield.
Chamberlain has been rumored to have snubbed the Blues because he might be used in the wing back position; a position where Arsenal Manager - Arsene Wenger played him in some of the games last season.
The England star preferred a switch to Liverpool where he would play midfield and believes he can improve and develop his England career.
He told Arsenal he would not sign a new deal, turned down an offer of £180,000-a-week and can leave on a free transfer next summer.
