FORMER Arsenal and Liverpool ace Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has joked that he can't believe one of his ex-team-mates is a professional footballer.
The 30-year-old midfielder has named a surprising player as one of the worst at a training drill known as a "rondo".
Oxlade-Chamberlain reckons that Liverpool's star left-back Andy Robertson was possibly the worst player he's EVER played a rondo with.
The Scotsman is widely-regarded as one of the best full-backs in the Premier League, but his former team-mate described him as "disgusting" to watch during the exercise.
Speaking to the Tubes and Ange Golf Life YouTube channel, Oxlade-Chamberlain said: "Yeah, he’s possibly the worst I’ve ever played with in a rondo.
"You watch him in a rondo… I don’t know how he’s so good at football. Honestly, it’s disgusting to watch. And I’ll say that with chest on camera.
