Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is concerned about losing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Klopp believes Oxlade Chamberlain's new found maturity has taken his game to a whole new level.
But even though the Liverpool manager says the midfielder is producing the most compelling form of his Anfield career, he accepts he could LOSE the 28-year-old as his contract counts down.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has just 18 months left on his Reds contract, and Klopp said: “I think it is a completely normal situation...it is about what makes sense for both sides in six or 18 months.
“But it is not important at all at the moment. In this moment what is important is how do you contribute when you play? That is the only thing.
“It's pretty much the best Oxlade since I was here. I know he was more spectacular in (past) moments, scoring against City and some really good goals, but it is a completely new quality.
“Calming the game down, knowing when to sprint with the ball, when to shoot. Being involved in all the different things on the pitch is a massive step and I'm really happy with Ox in the moment and hopefully it (stays) like this."
