​​Lawrenson lauds Klopp for doubling Oxlade-Chamberlain value

Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson is very impressed by how the Reds manager Jurgen Klopp has turned around the career of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

While the player is currently out with a knee injury, he was in scintillating form in the middle of the season. The 24-year-old, who signed moved to Anfield from Arsenal last summer, played a key role in Liverpool's 4-0 demolishing of Manchester City in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter final clash.

"Look at Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain this season," he said to Paddy Power News.

"He's been at a top club before, been an international, and Klopp's thought he can improve him, so if Liverpool pay £30m for him, in the end, he could be worth double that.

"That signing was a no-brainer for Klopp because he knows he can make players better."
