Liverpool have completed the £40million signing of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Premier League rivals Arsenal after he chose to snub Chelsea.
The England ace penned a five-year deal after a medical at St George’s Park, where the 24-year-old is on duty with Gareth Southgate’s men.
Oxlade-Chamberlain said: “I’m currently away with England, so I’m at St George’s Park.
“Firstly, I’m delighted to have signed for Liverpool and a big thank-you to everyone here at the FA that has made this possible, using the facilities.
“It has been a massive help.
“I’m not going to say too much today.
“I’m here with England and we’ve got two big games coming up, so I want to focus on them.
“But I can’t wait to get to Melwood and you’ll hear first from me on LFCTV.”
The Ox rejected £180,000-a-week to stay at Arsenal and was offered £200,000-plus at Chelsea where Antonio Conte is desperate for players.
But Liverpool have made the right offer to the game-starved player and he has agreed to £120,000 plus incentive bonuses.
Arsenal paid Southampton £12m for the starlet in 2011 but he made just 68 Premier League starts for the Gunners and was a substitute 64 times.
