Central role finally?

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is finally set to join his favorite childhood club, Liverpool. The midfielder was set to join Chelsea from Arsenal but was not happy with the role offered to him.

Chamberlain wants to play as a central midfielder while Antonio Conte was signing him as a right wing-back. The talks stalled after Chelsea revealed this to Chamberlain and he opted to join Liverpool instead.

Arsenal and Liverpool have agreed a £35 million fee that will rise to £40 million based on his and the club's performance. The Gunners were happy to let him go as he is in the final year of his contract and was not willing to sign a new one.

Liverpool already have Emre Can, Georginio Wijnaldum, Jordan Henderson and Philippe Coutinho (if he stays) to play a central role in the midfield. So it will be interesting to see how Chamberlain fits in and how much time he gets to play.
