Jurgen Klopp 'Absolutely Delighted' with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's New Deal

Jurgen Klopp has said he is "absolutely delighted" Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has penned a new long-term contract at Liverpool.

The 26-year-old joined Liverpool from Arsenal in 2017, but last term he played just 19 minutes in the Premier League due to a serious knee injury.

Already in 2019-20, though, he has started two matches for the Reds—the UEFA Super Cup against Chelsea and Saturday's Premier League victory over Southampton.

Klopp has said how impressed he has been with Oxlade-Chamberlain's attitude during his injury problems and explained his delight at the Englishman committing further to Liverpool, per James Carroll on the club's official website:

"When I heard Ox had signed his new contract with us, I am sure my emotions were the same as every Liverpool fan hearing the news tonight—absolutely delighted.
