Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has signed a new long-term contract until 2023 with European champions, Liverpool.
The England winger, 26, who joined Liverpool from Arsenal for £35million in 2017 has scored five goals in 47 games for the club.
Chamberlain returned to first-team football at the end of last season after suffering a serious knee injury in April 2018.
On inking the long-term deal, he told Liverpoolfc.com: 'I'm really, really excited - it's been in the pipeline for a little while, so it's nice to finally get it done and just extend my time here, which I am really looking forward to.
'I feel like I missed out on a year, which I obviously did, so it's really exciting for me to be able to sign. It's something that I feel is an opportunity to give that year back and make up for lost time – and hopefully put in some good performances to make amends for not being around last year.
'You've got to count your blessings every time you get an opportunity like this, you don't get the chance to play for Liverpool Football Club every day. I am really excited to be able to extend my time here.'
'I can promise the supporters that I'll give them absolutely everything moving forward,' he added.
'There might be times where I have bad games and good games and moments where it's not so good, but I'll always work through those moments and give my everything to correct them and keep pushing this team forward.
'I hope that I can do some special things like I did before I got injured and, most of all, be a part of this group of players that go on to hopefully win more things.
'I'm really excited to see what the future holds for us all and I look forward to seeing them every game moving forward.'
