Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has slowly started showing his quality at Liverpool

One of the most high profile moves of the summer transfer window, Alex Oxlade- Chamberlain made a move to Liverpool from Arsenal in order to play in his preferred central-midfielder position. Having played as a right wing-back at Arsenal initially this season, Chamberlain started off for Liverpool by playing as a winger.

However, with the sale of Coutinho, a midfield space has opened up at Liverpool, and the 24-year-old star has taken the opportunity with both hands putting in some very impressive performances centrally for the Reds.

In fact, Klopp in a press conference in September even outlined 4 positions where the Ox could play for Liverpool. Speaking to reporters, the German manager said:

"In the system we play at the moment, he can play in four positions. Both No.8s and both wingers. We play in a specific way and we want to use him in these positions."

Chamberlain, with his recent performances, is slowly showing why Liverpool paid the big bucks to secure his services in the summer transfer window.
