Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admitted he held some concerns about Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s contract which is due to expire in the summer of 2023.
The England international has been handed extended involvement on the starting team sheet for Liverpool with Jurgen Klopp dealing with a midfield injury crisis for the better part of this campaign.
Chamberlain has left a lasting impression on Klopp, revealed the German coach in his pre-match remarks ahead of the game against Spurs on Sunday, but uncertainty over the player’s Anfield future remains on the cards.
“I think it is a completely normal situation…it is about what makes sense for both sides in six or 18 months.
“But it is not important at all at the moment. In this moment what is important is how do you contribute when you play? That is the only thing.
“It’s pretty much the best Oxlade since I was here. I know he was more spectacular in (past) moments, scoring against City and some really good goals, but it is a completely new quality.
“Calming the game down, knowing when to sprint with the ball, when to shoot. Being involved in all the different things on the pitch is a massive step and I’m really happy with Ox in the moment and hopefully it (stays) like this.”
