Oxlade-Chamberlain fears
One player who could leave Anfield this summer is Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The former Arsenal star has played a supplamentary role this season, and according to the Daily Mail, he is fearful of his role going forward following the agreement to sign Fabio Carvalho from Fulham.
Oxlade-Chamberlain will need assurances from Klopp over his role if he is to stick around for next season.
