He arrived during the summer of 2017 and in the same transfer window, Oxlade-Chamberlain joined him after departing Arsenal. With Salah announcing his forthcoming exit in an emotional message directed at supporters and staff who have assisted him throughout his spell at Liverpool, Oxlade-Chamberlain has conveyed surprise while emphasising what distinguishes the 33-year-old as exceptional. He'd gone to Italy and then he comes to Liverpool and he just turned into an animal. He's one of those players, I always say they're special players, where if I'm having a bad game I'm useless to everyone.
