Liverpool have enjoyed a rather successful start to their season with Jurgen Klopp's side currently unbeaten across the Premier League, Champions League and Carabao Cup.
However, there is one player that has not been a massive part of Liverpool's season so far that could be on their way out of the Merseyside club in the near future.
What's the news?
It has recently been reported by The Mirror that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be looking for a way out of Liverpool to get more game time elsewhere and save his career.
Liverpool signed Oxlade-Chamberlain back in the 2017 summer transfer window from fellow Premier League side Arsenal for a fee of £35m.
Since then, the 28-year-old, who is currently valued at £16.2m according to Transfermarkt, has made 109 appearances for the Reds across all competitions in which he has managed to score 14 goals and provide 12 assists in the process.
So far this season, the Englishman, who is currently earning a weekly wage of £120k-per-week according to Spotrac, has made just five appearances across all competitions for Jurgen Klopp's side, starting just two of them.
Time to move on
Taking into account how Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has been labelled as "outstanding" by Klopp in the past, has been very unlucky with his injury issues during his time with the Merseyside club, this is undoubtedly a factor that must be acknowledged regarding his lack of games since his arrival.
That being said, we feel that if Oxlade-Chamberlain thinks it would be a better option for him and his career to leave Liverpool and join a club where he would be playing regularly, then the Reds should definitely consider letting him go.
They must do so if they get a financial offer they deem suitable for the player either in the upcoming January transfer window or the next summer window. After all, they cannot continue to pay someone who has missed so much football.
The attacking midfielder has missed 72 matches during his Liverpool career, sitting on the treatment table for a period of 493 days. It's been a sad few years for Oxlade-Chamberlain but unfortunately, now is the time for Klopp to wield the axe on his time in Merseyside.
Whether or not any club would be willing to take a gamble on a player like that only time will tell, but we feel it would be in Liverpool's best interests to get his salary off their wage bill.
