Everton join pursuit of Arsenal star

Everton have reportedly joined the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City in the race to sign Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The England international has just 16 months left on his Gunners contract, and this has sparked speculation over a potential exit in the summer.

According to The Mirror, Toffees boss Ronald Koeman is said to be a huge fan of the versatile midfielder and has been given the green light to spend big on the 23-year-old during the summer.

The Ox has struggled to cement a regular spot under Arsene Wenger in recent seasons, and a move to Goodison could well guarantee him regular playing time to live up to his early potential.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is capable of feature across the midfield, has started just 10 league games during the current campaign, scoring two times in the process.
