    ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN continues to be linked with a move away from Arsenal.

    Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is concerned about the size of his squad and sees the versatile 23-year-old as the ideal man to plug several holes.

    According to the Evening Standard, the Blues are increasingly confident they will be able to prise the England man away for £35 million.

    PHILIPPE COUTINHO is not part of Liverpool’s squad to face Hoffenheim on Tuesday but the Brazil playmaker took the headlines anyway.

    With the 25-year-old pushing for a move to Barcelona, Reds captain Jordan Henderson said he would do all he can to convince him to stay at Anfield.

    With the futures of OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN and ALEXIS SANCHEZ still uncertain, Arsenal could be looking to Real Madrid’s MARCO ASENSIO as a replacement.

    The Sun reports the 21-year-old has demanded talks with the Spanish giants after learning of interest from the Gunners.
