Alex Oxlade Chamberlain aka "The Ox"

Yeah let's not forget Salah and Willian. Bit of payback if you ask me.

It seems no one wants to play for Chelsea.

Not true, Danny Drinkwater does.

They seem to have a free run at him for some reason too.

I hope Leicester put a ballon d'or clause in the contract.

Jürgen Klopp: I've been watching Alex's progress since 2014

Jürgen Klopp has outlined his delight at adding Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to his Liverpool project, three years after first noticing his talents during a Champions League game as Borussia Dortmund manager.

The 24-year-old penned a long-term deal with the Reds on Thursday to seal a deadline-day switch from Arsenal.

Klopp admits he has long held admiration for Oxlade-Chamberlain ever since he caught the eye of the boss after coming on as a substitute for the Gunners in a European tie in Dortmund back in September 2014.

The manager told Liverpoolfc.com: “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 - and when I got the news he was ours it was fantastic.

“I remember the first time I saw him play live - it was at Dortmund in 2014 and he came on as a sub that day and made a big impact. He stood out immediately because of his pace and skills and his attitude in such a big game for a young player; I remember him chasing back to make a brilliant challenge on Mkhitaryan in the box to save a certain goal.

“We won that game but lost the return match at Arsenal when he started and played well, I think he hit the post. Since then I have followed him and when I heard it may be possible to sign him I didn't need to think twice.

“I hear a lot of talk about positions but let's talk about the player; he is someone with really good abilities who always gives everything for his team. A player that is positive and willing to take risks to try and make positive things happen.

“He may still be young but he has a lot of experience in the Premier League, Champions League and for his country. 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.

“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, so to get him means I am delighted.

“He didn't make an easy decision but I think he made a great one to go on this journey with this squad of talented boys and our great supporters. I welcome him to the Liverpool family.”

Sounds good, also looks like Jurgen is being backed, he is choosing his players and the side may not be fully ready until next season, but he's being smart and patient. I think Chamberlain will prove to be a very good signing.

It's unlikely, I can't see them all being fit at the same time

Did Wenger keep him in a dungeon or something?

[Daffy Duck]

Why was this officially announced only today, when dozens of photos already leaked yesterday? Surely not to calm the fans who are expecting a huge deadline day signing? Is Ox it???

[dizzycat]

I'm delighted he's signed, proper heavy metal footballer who can play his proper music now he's dropped his opera rubbish.
