Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain believes he needs regular playing time as enters the peak years of his career after leaving Liverpool on a free transfer this summer. 

The 29-year-old has endured an injury-plagued stint with the Anfield club after joining from Arsenal for £35million in summer 2017 and initially established himself as the driving midfield force in Jurgen Klopp's team.
