Liverpool complete Oxlade-Chamberlain signing

Liverpool have completed the signing of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in a £40million deal with Arsenal.

The England international rejected Chelsea to join up with Jurgen Klopp at Anfield because Juergen klopp has promised him a central midfield spot..

The 24-year-old has signed a five-year deal and could make his debut next week against Manchester City.

A medical took place on Wednesday evening at St George’s Park before England’s flight to Malta for their World Cup qualifier.

A reluctance to continue playing as a wing-back has factored into the player’s decision, with a desire to play as a centre-midfielder.

First words from Oxlade-Chamberlain as a Liverpool player

“I’m currently away with England, so I’m at St George’s Park. “Firstly, I’m delighted to have signed for Liverpool and a big thank-you to everyone here at the FA that has made this possible, using the facilities. It has been a massive help. “I’m not going to say too much today; I’m here with England and we’ve got two big games coming up, so I want to focus on them. But I can’t wait to get to Melwood and you’ll hear first from me on LFCTV.”
