Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Signs New Long-term Contract With Liverpool

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is in for a long haul at Liverpool and has committed himself to a new long-term contract with the winners of the 2018/19 Champions League.

The former Arsenal midfielder joined the club in a five-year deal for £35 million in August 2017 and in the same season the team made it through to the Champions League final for the first time in 11 years.

"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," said the 26-year-old who had since scored five goals in 47 appearances.

Liverpool won their first two games with a 2-1 away win at Southampton on Saturday but the England international did not make an appearance in the team's season-opening match 4-1 home win over Norwich City.

He added, "You've got to count your blessings every time you get an opportunity like this, you don't get the chance to play for Liverpool Football Club every day. I am really excited to be able to extend my time here."
