Oxlade-Chamberlain opens up on Liverpool move

The 24-year-old marked his first Premier League start for the Reds with a goal in the 4-1 win over West Ham before the international break.

After a slow start to life on Merseyside, the Ox believes he is finally ready to kick on under Jurgen Klopp.

"It's been a change for me," he told Sky Sports. "You want to come to a new club and hit the ground running straightaway and maybe I didn't do that as quickly as I would have liked.

"Obviously, competition for places is really high here, as I expected, but you're always eager to be playing straightaway and starting as many games as possible.

"That hasn't been the case as much but I've learnt a lot and I feel like I've adapted well to the requirements of the manager, the coaches and the boys as well.

"But it's been a good integration into this team, and I'm happy with the way it's gone. It's just important now that I push on. I learned a big change in the style of play under a new manager.

"Arsene [Wenger] is a great manager and he's proved that for many years. His philosophy and style of play is based on the 'Arsenal way' of playing, with his passing game, which is brilliant and works very well for him.

"Jurgen is very demanding and he makes clear to us our roles and responsibilities, and the intensity that he wants out of us."
