Birmingham City has set its sights on an audacious move for former Liverpool star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The Blues are keen to bring in the England international as they strive for Premier League promotion.

Currently playing at Besiktas, Oxlade-Chamberlain is reportedly open to a return to English soccer.

Oxlade-Chamberlain cost the Reds £35 million ($47.4 million) when he arrived from Arsenal during the summer of 2017.
Interest from the Premier League has been noted, with Besiktas likely to release him if the right deal comes along.
The former Arsenal and Liverpool midfielder, who has returned to full training with Besiktas and is in fine form, is ready for the new season.
A move to another club at this stage of his career would present a fresh challenge, and Birmingham is hopeful that their ownership and direction could sway him, according to Mirror Football
With Tom Wagner at the helm and NFL legend Brady involved, Birmingham certainly has a strong pull.
Having made a solid start to the Championship season following their promotion from League One, the Blues have dreams of making a straight leap into the top flight.
Their financial clout and allure could potentially convince Oxlade-Chamberlain, who boasts 35 England caps and a distinguished Premier League career with both Arsenal and Liverpool.
Despite injuries hindering his career, he moved to Besiktas two years ago and remains in Turkey, contrary to false reports suggesting he had left.
He even shared photos of himself back in training to confirm his presence.
There's no doubt that Oxlade-Chamberlain will attract attention from Premier League clubs in this window, given his popularity and leadership skills in the dressing room.
