Liverpool are set to hand Alex Oxlade Chamberlain a new deal – just days after he returned to first-team action following a year on the side lines following a long injury lay off.
The former Arsenal man returned to the Liverpool side as a second half substitute against Huddersfield Town on Friday night, his first appearance since picking up a serious knee injury in last year’s Champions League semi-final against Roma.
And now he is set, according to The Daily Mirror to sign a 12 month extension to his existing deal which will keep him at Anfield until 2023.
The new contract is a major show of faith in a player who was showing his best form in a Liverpool shirt when the injury occurred, and was beginning to fully justify the £35 million that they paid Arsenal for him in the summer of 2017.
Now he will be hoping to force his way back into Gareth Southgate’s plans as well.
