Since the last game I have been waiting and  hoping we could make this transfer - and when I got the news he was ours  it was fantastic. “I remember the first time I saw him play live - it was at  Dortmund in 2014 and he came on as a sub that day and made a big impact.  He stood out immediately because of his pace and skills and his  attitude in such a big game for a young player; I remember him chasing  back to make a brilliant challenge on Mkhitaryan in the box to save a  certain goal.“We won that game but lost the return match at Arsenal when he  started and played well, I think he hit the post. Since then I have  followed him and when I heard it may be possible to sign him I didn't  need to think twice.“I hear a lot of talk about positions but let's talk about the  player; he is someone with really good abilities who always gives  everything for his team. A player that is positive and willing to take  risks to try and make positive things happen. “He may still be young but he has a lot of experience in the Premier  League, Champions League and for his country. Already he is a very, very  good player and I think he has the mentality and desire to get even  better - and that excites me. “This is someone making a tough decision to leave one great club  and come to another great club and I think he had many options, so to  get him means I am delighted. “He didn't make an easy decision but I think he made a great one to  go on this journey with this squad of talented boys and our great  supporters. I welcome him to the Liverpool family.”Oxlade-Chamberlain is understood to be on a package of around  £120,000 a week - he would’ve earned more had he extended his contract  at the Emirates, which had entered its final year, or if he had decided  to play for Antonio Conte.    Liverpool are trying to follow Oxlade-Chamberlain's addition with a  blockbuster move for Monaco's Thomas Lemar  , but a fee has yet to be agreed. The Reds   are prepared to make Virgil van Dijk the most expensive defender in the world  , but Southampton continue to insist he is not on the market now.</blockquote>
