Like a new signing: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain offered 12-month extension, fans react

Lots of Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to react after it was reported that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be handed a new 12-month contract extension.

The England international spent almost the entirety of last year out with a cruciate ligament injury which he suffered in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Roma in 2017/18.

He made his comeback as a substitute in a 5-0 win over Huddersfield at the end of April, making just two appearances in total throughout the 2018/19 campaign as Liverpool won the Champions League.

A new 12-month extension would take Oxlade-Chamberlain’s time at the club to 2023, and would also allow him to have the year back on his contract that he lost whilst recovering from injury.

The 25-year-old missed 366 days in total due to the cruciate injury, and it is a move that appears to have gone down well with some of the supporters – the former Arsenal man has become a real fans’ favourite at Anfield.

A few of them aren’t too happy, though.

Let’s take a look at some of the responses on Twitter…
