Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is emerging as a target for a trio of Premier League teams as the midfielder prepares to leave Liverpool.
The 29-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and there have been no talks with the Anfield club about a new deal.
Oxlade-Chamberlain, whose last appearance for the club came in the recent 1-0 Champions League loss to Real Madrid, is almost certain to leave Merseyside in the summer and rival clubs are keen to sign him.
Aston Villa, Newcastle and Brighton are among the clubs that took an early interest in the former Arsenal star ahead of the summer transfer window.
Brighton were interested in taking him in the January window but did not want to pay a fee for him as he is available for free at the end of the season.

Serie A clubs have also expressed interest in Oxlade-Chamberlain, whose first-team opportunities have been severely restricted.
The Southampton academy graduate is focused on helping Liverpool finish in the top four before taking the next step in his career.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has made 12 appearances for Jurgen Klopp’s side this season, but the Reds are planning a summer squad review after a disappointing campaign that means their chances of playing in the first team will not improve.
