Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain admits Liverpool took a “risk” on handing him a new contract in August 2019, with the England international determined to repay that considerable show of faith.
The Reds invested heavily in the former Arsenal star when luring him to Anfield for £35 million ($44m) in the summer of 2017.
Early promise was shown on Merseyside, but the 26-year-old’s debut campaign was to be brought to an abrupt halt in April 2018 when he suffered a serious knee injury.
Oxlade-Chamberlain spent 12 months stuck on the sidelines, but battled his way back to earn favour with Jurgen Klopp once more.
