If Liverpool want to lure Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey to Anfield at some point in the near future, then there is one Reds star who will have a big role to play for his club.

As revealed by Liverpool Echo journalist Ian Doyle in a Q&A on Thursday (13:56), Ramsey is ‘big mates’ with Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from their time together at the Emirates Stadium.

The two will likely be in regular contact and Oxlade-Chamberlain must now use his influence with Ramsey to try and bring the 27-year-old to Merseyside.

Ramsey is thought to want to remain in England after leaving Arsenal, with his young family settled in the UK, and that will give Liverpool an instant advantage over any overseas rivals.

His friendship with Ox is another advantage, and crucially, it gives them a slight edge on any Premier League rivals who are also sniffing around the Wales international.

Ox, 25, is currently on the sidelines and working hard to return from his serious knee injury, but he must now take on another job of luring Ramsey to Anfield.

The 27-year-old would be a brilliant addition to a Liverpool midfield which is slightly lacking creativity, and he could also act as a long-term replacement for James Milner, when he leaves the club or retires.

Ox now has a crucial role to play in making that happen, and he must immediately pick up the phone to Ramsey and attempt to convince him that the move is the right one for his next career step.
