Liverpool have confirmed the signing of England international Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal for a fee of £35m.
The 24 year old joins the Anfield club after a six year stay at
Arsenal which fetched him 198 appearances. And has signed a five year
contract worth £120,000 a week.
During his time at the Emirates, he had three FA Cups triumphs. The
last of which came last season.
Speaking about his signing, Jurgen Klopp said.
"I am really, really happy we have got Alex signed. Since the last
game I have been waiting and hoping we could make this transfer."
"This is someone making a tough decision to leave one great club and
come to another great club and I think he had many options."
"Already he is a very, very good player and I think he has the
mentality and desire to get even better - and that excites me."
On his part, the club's new signing said
"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."
