Arsenal legend Martin Keown has issued a warning to new Liverpool signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Keown has said that the 24 year old Oxlade-Chamberlain has no excuses not to perform well at the Reds and must fix areas of his game that were lacking during his time with the Gunners.
Oxlade-Chamberlain moved to the Merseyside club recently for a fee of £40 million. Gunners manager Arsene Wenger reportedly wanted him to remain with his club and at the end, it was the player himself who decided to move on.
Oxlade-Chamberlain was said to be unhappy with the way that Wenger was utilizing him at the Emirates.
Now that he has joined Jurgen Klopp’s side, Keown believes that the player has no excuses to not deliver and said, “I can see him playing in midfield instead of Emre Can or Georginio Wijnaldum — but I am intrigued to see if Jurgen Klopp can make him the complete player,
“It is no longer about promise with Oxlade-Chamberlain — it’s all about end product. It was interesting watching him for England in the last two games. Whenever he had the ball, he kept trying to do the impossible.
“We have only ever seen 80 per cent of what Oxlade-Chamberlain is capable of. Now, he has no excuse but to deliver.”
