Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has said that he thinks new signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain can give his ‘best years’ to his new club after making a deadline day move from Arsenal, where the retired midfielder thought he was unhappy.
Chamberlain snubbed a new contract at the Emirates as well as a move to Chelsea in order to sign for Jurgen Klopp on deadline day, and Gerrard has praised the addition.
“Well I think he’s already become a fantastic player, and that’s the reason why we spent £35m on him,” the ex-Liverpool captain said.
“I think he definitely strengthens the group and the team.
“He’s English, he’s 24, he’s just coming into his peak years, he’s very quick and an exciting player.
“He seems as if he wasn’t happy at Arsenal, so now hopefully he can settle down and give his best years of his career to Liverpool Football Club.
“I think it’s a very positive signing.”
Chamberlain could make his Liverpool debut at Manchester City next weekend after returning from international duty with England.
