Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish wants face-to-face talks with Southampton superkid Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The Daily Mail says Dalglish is due to hold talks with Oxlade-Chamberlain's representatives in an attempt to persuade them that the 17-year-old's future is at Anfield.
Sources close to Oxlade-Chamberlain insist the exciting forward favours a move to Arsenal, and his father, former England winger Mark Chamberlain, underlined that by claiming the youngster wanted his move to London completed as soon as possible.
Arsene Wenger came close to signing the player in January, but the move collapsed due to Saints insisting on a 40 per cent sell-on clause, a demand that remains the main stumbling block for Arsenal. But Liverpool are confident they can negotiate a deal, clearing the path for a move if Dalglish can convince the player that joining Liverpool is in his best interests.
