Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain signs new long-term Liverpool contract

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has signed a new long-term Liverpool contract.

The former Arsenal midfielder, 26, has had an injury-hit spell at Anfield but has been handed a new contract.

“I’m really, really excited - it’s been in the pipeline for a little while, so it’s nice to finally get it done and just extend my time here, which I am really looking forward to,” Oxlade-Chamberlain said.

“I feel like I missed out on a year, which I obviously did, so it’s really exciting for me to be able to sign.

"It’s something that I feel is an opportunity to give that year back and make up for lost time – and hopefully put in some good performances to make amends for not being around last year.”

Oxlade-Chamberlain joined Liverpool from Arsenal for £35m in 2017 but suffered a serious knee injury against Roma the following year.

That kept him out of action for almost an entire year but the midfielder returned last season and was on the bench in the Champions League final.

He has taken part in pre-season and made his first start in 16 months in the 2-1 win over Southampton on Saturday.

“There might be times where I have bad games and good games and moments where it's not so good, but I'll always work through those moments and give my everything to correct them and keep pushing this team forward," he added.

“I hope that I can do some special things like I did before I got injured and, most of all, be a part of this group of players that go on to hopefully win more things.

“I'm really excited to see what the future holds for us all and I look forward to seeing them every game moving forward.”
