Liverpool are welcoming Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain back from injury.
Liverpool have not signed any first team players this summer and manager Jurgen Klopp is trying to look at positives.
One of these is the tried and tested ‘like a new signing’ trope, and Klopp has been busy rolling it out with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Klopp suggested the Reds might have struck a bargain when they signed him for £40 million.
He said: “Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain… come on. Fit… if that’s not a new signing, then I don’t know.
“To buy him, after the impression we got when he played for us, what do we think the price would be to buy that level of player?!?”
Oxlade-Chamberlain missed nearly all of last season with a knee injury.
He is now looking to kick on and get back to the level he was showing in early 2018 before his injury.
Klopp also went on to praise Rhian Brewster, Adam Lallana and Joe Gomez, saying they will each have chances to play big roles, mitigating the need to splash out on new signings.
