Jurgen Klopp has heaped praise on summer signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain describing the £35m man as a "wonderful package".

The England midfielder, who started the 4-0 win over Bournemouth on Sunday, has impressed in recent weeks as he finally begins to pay the Reds back for their hefty deadline day outlay.

And manager Klopp has taken notice and told fans to expect plenty more from the 24-year-old.

“He is on a very good way. I like it, but he has so much potential it’s unbelievable, what he still not shows,” he told the club's official website. “It’s only just the beginning and I really like it, I really like it. He’s like a wonderful package, I can only say.

“Hopefully he stays fit, that’s the most important thing. He can be much more decisive in a few moments. [He’s sometimes a] little bit too much of a midfielder instead of a striker - there are a lot of things he can improve, but I’m really happy about the status quo.”

Oxlade-Chamberlain was one of four changes for Klopp's side at the Vitality Stadium as the German continues to shuffle his pack ahead of the packed festive schedule.

And the boss says there's more to come over the next few weeks.

“We don’t really think a lot about it. It’s more that you see the last game and you see the other guys in training - because the guys who didn’t play train much more. And if they show up in these moments you think ‘Oh, that’s cool’," he added.

“That’s why we do it. We trust the full squad, that’s the first and maybe most important thing. I said it and I have no problem: I make the decision so I get the criticism for the decision. I don’t want people to say ‘Wow, fantastic rotation!’ because I don’t need that. I do what I think is right.

“That cannot work all the time unfortunately, but it should work pretty often. So far, it’s OK. We had a really fantastic period, a little interrupted by two results and one performance; I really liked the Everton performance, not too much the West Brom one.

“Now this was not too bad. But the next game is waiting, Arsenal away. That’s not a children’s birthday [party] - that will be really hard but should be hard for both teams. There is something possible for us.”
