Southampton will reportedly make Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain their highest-paid player to tempt the England attacking midfielder into leaving Arsenal this summer.
The Saints' plans also include making Oxlade-Chamberlain vice-captain, per John Cross of the Daily Mirror.
Cross referenced the growing interest in Oxlade-Chamberlain and the competition Southampton will have to beat for a player worried about his playing time with the Gunners:
They are determined to fend off competition from Manchester City, West Ham and Chelsea as the 22-year-old will consider his future at the end of the season.
