Glenn Hoddle has raved about Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on The Weekend Preview.
The former Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea midfielder believes that Oxlade-Chamberlain adds something different to the Liverpool midfield.
Hoddle believes that it is important that the Reds keep the former Arsenal midfielder fit.
Hoddle said about Oxlade-Chamberlain on The Weekend Preview: “Oxlade-Chamberlain for me is another one who gives them a different dimension. He needs to stay fit.
“There’s goals in him, and creation from him in a different way than another of the other players in that midfield. So I think if they keep him fit as well, he is almost like a new player coming in as well.”

Oxlade-Chamberlain has had injury problems during his time at Liverpool, although he did well when he was called into action last season.
According to WhoScored, the 27-year-old made 17 starts and 13 substitute appearances in the league for the Reds last season, scoring four goals and providing one assist in the process.
