# These Liverpool fans react as Oxlade-Chamberlain signs new contract

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has [signed](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/361800-alex-oxlade-chamberlain-signs-new-long-term-liverpool-deal) a new long-term deal at Liverpool, keeping him at Anfield until the summer of 2023.

The 26-year-old has overcome a serious knee injury to return to first team action, impressing for the Reds in their 2-1 win at Southampton last Saturday.

Speaking about the new contract, which is a hugely positive piece of news, Oxlade-Chamberlain couldn’t hide his delight:

> I’m really, really excited – it’s been in the pipeline for a little while, so it’s nice to finally get it done and just extend my time here, which I am really looking forward to.

> I feel like I missed out on a year, which I obviously did, so it’s really exciting for me to be able to sign. It’s something that I feel is an opportunity to give that year back and make up for lost time – and hopefully put in some good performances to make amends for not being around last year.”

> You’ve got to count your blessings every time you get an opportunity like this, you don’t get the chance to play for Liverpool Football Club every day. I am really excited to be able to extend my time here.

These Liverpool supporters have been reacting to the news on Twitter, with much positivity in the air.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Oxlade-Chamberlain’s extended contract isn’t just a big boost for him personally, but also for Liverpool.\
\
The former Arsenal man has been an excellent signing since arriving in 2017, adding an extra dimension to the Reds’ midfield.\
\
Without him, they have sometimes felt one-dimensional in the middle of the park, but as he showed at Southampton, he brings a different level of guile.\
\
Oxlade-Chamberlain’s cruciate ligament injury was a monumental blow, but the manner in which he has overcome it speaks volumes about his character.\
\
Hopefully, he can make an impact on Saturday, as Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield.
