Liverpool legend backs their new signing
The England international made the move from Arsenal, snubbing a new contract from them and an offer from interested party Chelsea.
Already a boyhood fan of the club, Oxlade-Chamberlin has been tipped for great things at Merseyside, and Gerrard agrees.
"I think he's already become a fantastic player, and that's the reason why we spent 35 million pounds on him," said the former England star, now Liverpool's academy coach. "I think he definitely strengthens the group and the team.
"He's English, he's 24, he's just coming into his peak years. He's a very quick and exciting player.
"He seems as if he wasn't happy at Arsenal, so now hopefully he can settle down, give the best years of his career at Liverpool Football Club. But I think he's a very, very positive signing.'
