Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will not strengthen Liverpool’s first XI, but can fit into Jurgen Klopp’s style, according to Gary Neville. He’s a very quick and exciting player. “In the previous year, he has made huge progress and I want him to stay here for a long time”.
AARON RAMSEY was forced to explain himself after appearing to slam Arsenal for selling Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to Liverpool.

Oxlade-Chamberlain becomes Liverpool’s fifth signing of the summer after Dominic Solanke, Mohamed Salah, Andrew Robertson and Naby Keïta – who will join the club from RB Leipzig in a club-record deal in July 2018.
