TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Everton and Leeds are aware of the fact Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is now a free agent.

The England international agreed to mutually terminate his contract at Besiktas towards the end of August – one year ahead of its expiration date – and is now looking for a new club.

Rangers are considering a move for the man with 235 Premier League appearances – who can be signed whenever due to his free agency despite the closure of the transfer window.

TBR Football can also confirm that Everton and Leeds are aware of the situation involving Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, with sources adding that two other English clubs are looking.

Exclusive: Everton and Leeds monitoring Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Graeme Bailey – Chief Correspondent for TBR Football – has been informed that Brentford and Burnley are also on alert after the Southampton academy graduate became a free agent.

Oxlade-Chamberlain (who was called “incredible” by Trent Alexander-Arnold) also has admirers in the Championship as he weighs up his next step.

As aforesaid, Rangers are also keen and seem most interested, with the Scottish giants actively considering an approach for the 32-year-old.

Oxlade-Chamberlain scored 20 goals and provided 24 assists in his 235 Premier League appearances across spells at Arsenal and Liverpool, winning the title with the latter in 2020.

Players to have appeared for both Liverpool and Everton

If David Moyes does end up bringing Oxlade-Chamberlain to Everton, the midfielder would join an exclusive 26-man club of players to have appeared for both the Toffees and Liverpool.

• Conor Coady
• Abel Xavier
• Nick Barmby
• Gary Ablett
• Peter Beardsley
• David Johnson
• Steve McMahon
• Kevin Sheedy
• Dave Hickson
• Jimmy Payne
• Johnny Morrissey
• Tony McNamara
• John Heydon
• Billy Hartill
• Tom Gracie
• Bill Lacey
• Frank Mitchell
• Dick Forshaw
• Harold Uren
• Benjamin Howard Baker
• Andrew Hannah
• Edgar Chadwick
• Tom Wyllie
• Patrick Gordon
• Duncan McLean
• John Whitehead

The Hill Dickinson Stadium has already proven to be something of a rehabilitative place this season, with Jack Grealish shining for Everton after escaping Manchester City on a loan move.

The England international already has four assists in just three Premier League appearances for the Toffees, so perhaps Oxlade-Chamberlain could enjoy a similar resurgence if a move to Everton happens.
