Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: 'I'm ready to take opportunity at Liverpool'

Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has suggested that he is prepared to take any opportunity he receives in the first team at Anfield.

Since completing a summer move from Arsenal, Oxlade-Chamberlain has not featured in a starting lineup in either the Premier League or Champions League, but the England international netted his first goal for the club in the 7-0 win against Maribor on Tuesday night.

The late strike was the 24-year-old's first positive contribution under Jurgen Klopp and as well as praising the performance of the Merseyside giants, the versatile midfielder has admitted that he is looking to force his way into his manager's plans.

Oxlade-Chamberlain told BT Sport: "We started with the right intensity, the manager said it would be a tough game and we couldn't be complacent.

"We were very clinical and putting almost all of our chances away. It feels like we have a lot of goals in us, we create a lot of chances.

"This is a competitive team, we have had a few results that have not gone our way and I'm ready whenever I get an opportunity."

Liverpool are next in action when they travel to Wembley Stadium to face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon.
