Liverpool signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain wants to play in the centre of midfield
Liverpool bought Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal in a £40million deadline day deal.
The England international chose a move to Anfield over an offer from Chelsea as he wants to play in the middle of midfield.
He was facing a season either on the flank or a wing-back at Arsenal or Chelsea.
But when asked what his plans for Oxlade-Chamberlain were heading into tomorrow’s 12.30pm clash at City, Klopp suggested he is not guaranteed a start in central midfield.
“(He can play) a few positions,” Klopp said.
“He is a very good football player. He is good in small spaces. Really good in big spaces. A good dribbler. A good passer.
“We want to have him on the pitch as often as possible.
“He fits really well in different line-ups.
“In the system we play at the moment he can play in four positions.”
