Southampton are reportedly interested in bringing Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain back to St Mary's this summer.

Oxlade-Chamberlain came through the Saints' youth ranks, before being sold to the Gunners for £15million in 2011.

The Daily Mirror is reporting Southampton are preparing to table a big-money offer for the 22-year-old, who is believed to be frustrated with a lack of first-team action at the Emirates Stadium this campaign.

The England international has two years remaining on his contract with Arsenal and it is believed Gunners manager Arsene Wenger is reluctant to sell the player.
