Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain joined Liverpool from Arsenal in the summer of 2017.

Jamie Redknapp has suggested in The Daily Mail that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has become a better player since leaving Arsenal for Liverpool in the summer of 2017.

Oxlade-Chamberlain joined Liverpool from Premier League rivals Arsenal in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £40 million.

The 24-year-old midfielder is earning £120,000 per week at Liverpool, according to The Guardian.

The England international did not make a great start at Anfield, but the former Southampton star is in great form at the moment.

Oxlade-Chamberlain played well for Liverpool in their 4-3 victory over Manchester City at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday evening.

Former Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Redknapp was impressed with the performance of the Englishman against Pep Guardiola’s side.

Redknapp, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, believes that Oxlade-Chamberlain has become a better player since leaving Arsenal for Liverpool in the summer of 2017.

“If you need any further proof that players stand still when they are at Arsenal, you only need to look at Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s dazzling performance for Liverpool against Manchester City,” Redknapp wrote in The Daily Mail.

“No more than an hour after his former Arsenal team-mates lost limply at Bournemouth, the Ox had burst through the City defence to open the scoring.

“Oxlade-Chamberlain looks a different player since arriving at Anfield last summer. At Arsenal, it was all too easy for him.

“No-one was pushing him and it did not matter whether he was in or out of the team. Now he looks fitter, stronger and is thriving in a clearly-defined midfield role.”
