BBC journalist David Ornstein has given an update on the sale of another first team star before the transfer window closes on Thursday.

The Gunners are enduring a turbulent end to the month of August after losing 1-0 at Stoke City before being thrashed 4-0 against Liverpool last Sunday.

Arsene Wenger had stated in recent weeks that his priority in the transfer market was to sell a few players to trim down his overloaded first team squad.

And following the exits of Gabriel and Kieran Gibbs, Arsenal have now given the green-light to a transfer move for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain who featured at Anfield last weekend.

According to BBC’s David Ornstein, the 24-year-old is set to join Premier League rivals Liverpool on a long-term deal following an agreement between the two clubs.
