Three winners and three losers from Alex Chamberlain’s move to Liverpool
In one of the biggest deals on deadline day, Arsenal wing-back Alex O🧜xlade-Chamberlain moved north from the London club to join Jurgen Klopp’s Liverꩵpool.
The Englishman, who is currently on duty wi♒th the national side, signed on a five-year deal worth £120,000-per-week for a reported £35 million fee, as per .
Like with any deal, there are those who benefit ಌand those who suffer. Here are the three winners and three losers from Oxlade-Chamberlain’s m𝐆ove to Liverpool.
Three winners
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Chamberlain joins a thriving Liverpool team, who look incredibly impressive this season, and one who are more෴ likely to play him in his favoure𝔉d central midfield position. One of the reasons he wanted to leave Arsenal is due to the persistence of Arsene Wenger to play him in a right wing-back role.
A further plus point is the fact that the Reds are in the Champions League, unlike Arsenal, and with a World Cup next summer, playing in the best competitions is vitalꦅ to ensure the 24-year-old guarantees a spot on the plane to Russia.
Jurgen Klopp
With Liverpool looking to compete on all fronts this season, depth wi꧅ll be vital to Jurgen Klopp and Oxlade-Chamberlain provides exactly that.
The Englishman🍸 is a player that can feature any♓where across the midfield and as a winger, something that is sure to come in handy as the season continues.
Hector Bellerin
Finally, the Spaniard can be put out of his misery. Bellerin has looked unstable at left wing-back and with Oxlade-Chamberlain’s departu🔜re comes a likely move over to the right.
The Spain international looks much stronger bombing down the right and moving to his fa🍷voured side will hopefully help Arsenal pick up some positive results. Sead Kolasinac, who joined on a free this summer, should enter the starting XI at left-back and his power could prove to be a real asset for the Gunners.
The losers
Thomas Lemar
After signing Oxlade-Chamberlain, Liverpool decided toᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ pass on signing Monaco’s Thomas Lemar, much to the Frenchman’s annoyance.
The France international only ‘had eyes for Liverpool’, a💃ccording to L’Equipe, as referenced by the and . It seems as though Lemar will have to wait a little longer until he ends up on Merse🦹yside.
Chelsea
Having set the 5-2-2-1 formation tr♊end, the tactic has come back to haunt Chelsea. Oxlade-Chamberlain wants to play in central midfield and Antonio Co💙nte planned to use him in a wing-back, something he’d been trying to avoid at Arsenal.
Chelsea, instead, signed Davide Zappacosta 🦄from Torino for a reported £23 million, ♉according to the .
Aaron Ramsey
The Welsh midfielder had a bit of a nightmare after posting a tribute to Oxla𒊎de-Chamberlain. Ramsey used the hashtag ‘#shaaambles’ which was perceived as a jibe towards Arsenal’s poor transfer window, as reported by the .
The 𓄧Gunners’ man moved to clear the❀ hashtag, suggesting that it was a training ground nickname for the English winger.
