Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain being eyed by Everton and Manchester City

Everton are ready to rival Manchester City’s interest in Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer, reports the Mirror.

Ronald Koeman is among the 23-year-old’s admirers. The former Southampton star will have just a year remaining on his Arsenal contract in the summer.

City are already leading the chase for Oxlade-Chamberlain’s services. Pep Guardiola was impressed by the playmaker’s display in the Champions League against his Bayern Munich team two-and-a-half years ago.

But Koeman will have a war chest with which to continue his bid to overhaul of the Everton squad during the close season.

In October Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is a not a regular starter under Arsene Wenger, revealed he is set to consider his options at the end of the current campaign.
