Liverpool are primed for one of their busiest days in the transfer window as they look to add to their new arrivals with a trio of acquisitions on deadline day.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has arrived from Arsenal after the Reds agreed a £40m deal to sign the 24-year-old England international, who would have been available on a free transfer next summer when his contract expires.

Oxlade-Chamberlain has agreed a £120,000-a-week deal to move to Anfield, £60,000 less than what the Gunners offered him to stay at the Emirates, and a medical took place at England’s St George’s Park training base this morning, with confirmation coming at midday on deadline day.

Despite the move for Oxlade-Chamberlain, Liverpool will continue to try and sign Monaco forward Thomas Lemar, with talks continuing this morning over a potential £74m deal. Striker Divock Origi had been offered as part of the deal, but the Belgium international now looks close to a loan move to Hoffenheim for around £6m.

Finally, Liverpool are still determined to sign Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk, but Southampton continue to dig their heels in and reject any chance of a move.
