Liverpool News: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain should be used on the wing – Emile Heskey

Oxlade-Chamberlain switched Arsenal for Liverpool on transfer deadline day in a deal worth up to £40million.

The England international played in numerous positions under Arsene Wenger at Arsenal but was never given a run in his preferred role in central midfield.

He chose a move to Liverpool over Chelsea as he felt he had a better chance of breaking into the midfield at Anfield.

Heskey thinks the 23-year-old is a great signing but speaking as a former striker, reckons he would be better deployed on the flanks. 

“I think it’s a great move for Liverpool,” Heskey said on Sky Sports.

“It just adds strength in depth, pace, which they’ve got in abundance. 

“It’s someone else that can give that. I know there has been a lot said about him playing in midfield, I think he wants to play central. 

“But he gives you different options, he can play on the right or left and central, so it’s a great addition. 

“I’ve watched the pace of the lad and I would have him out wide. 

“But he has done well in central midfield as well, he’s made some commanding performances in there, so why not?”

Oxlade-Chamberlain starts on the wing for England in their World Cup qualifier against Slovakia this evening (7.45pm).
