Oxlade-Chamberlain ‘delighted’ by Liverpool FC move

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is ‘delighted’ after sealing a £35 million move to Liverpool.

Oxlade-Chamberlain signed a five-year contract at Anfield after the Reds had agreed a deal with Arsenal for the midfielder on Wednesday.

The England international underwent a medical at St George’s Park ahead of flying out to Malta for his country’s latest World Cup qualifier.

Chelsea had been in the hunt for Oxlade-Chamberlain only for the player to turn down the chance to move to the reigning Premier League champions.

 

He said: “Firstly, 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.

“But I can’t wait to get to Melwood.”
