		</div><p>Liverpool are set to complete the signing of Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.</p>
<p>Press Association Sport understands the clubs have agreed a deal that will see the England international move to Anfield.</p>
<p>Oxlade-Chamberlain, 24, had also been a target for Premier League champions Chelsea but it is believed Liverpool was always the player&#8217;s preferred destination.</p>
<p>Personal terms will now be discussed with reports suggesting Oxlade-Chamberlain could undergo a medical on Wednesday evening at St George&#8217;s Park &#8211; where he is currently training with England ahead of their World Cup qualification double-header.</p>
<p>Chelsea had seemingly moved into pole position to land the former Southampton youngster after agreeing their own deal with Arsenal.</p>
<p>But Oxlade-Chamberlain appears to have his heart set on a move to Liverpool.</p>
<p>The loss of the midfielder will be seen as a blow by Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, who has been adamant in recent weeks that he wants to keep the player at the Emirates Stadium.</p>
<p>Arsenal&#8217;s hand was weakened by the fact Oxlade-Chamberlain&#8217;s contract had less than a year to run and they have decided to cash in for a reported £40million rather than allow him to walk away for free in 2018.</p>
<p>Liverpool are also trying to conclude a club-record deal for Monaco midfielder Thomas Lemar before the transfer window closes.</p>
<p>The Ligue 1 side are reluctant to sell but their purchase of Lazio winger Keita Balde on Tuesday raised hopes they may be preparing for his departure.</p>
<p>It would likely take a fee in excess of £70million for the highly-rated 21-year-old and reported late interest from Barcelona, who have been frustrated in their attempts to sign Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho, may complicate things further.</p>
<p>Wantaway Southampton centre-back Virgil van Dijk is also a player Liverpool would be keen to sign should Saints decide to cut their losses on a defender who has yet to play for them this season after insisting he wants to leave.</p>
<p>But having had to publicly withdraw their interest earlier in the summer after allegations of an illegal approach, the Reds would need some encouragement from the south-coast club to make a world-record offer for a defender.</p>
