Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Carl Jenkinson can hardly wait for the season to start, and that has to be a good thing. 20-year old Jenkinson and 18-year old Oxlade-Chamberlain began their Arsenal careers at almost the same time after joining the club last summer but had different amounts of success.
Jenkinson made an impressive start and was making progress filling in for Sagna but was unfortunately sidelined for three months with a back injury. The youngster was impressive in the Markus Liebherr memorial cup at the weekend, setting up Henri Lansbury for his goal. Jenkinson is desperate to succeed at Arsenal as he and his family are lifelong Gooners.
The right back is buzzing about the acquisition of Podolski and Giroud. “I am really looking forward to playing alongside them both. Everyone is delighted that we have signed players of that caliber.” Let’s hope his form continues to improvr and that some of his drive and passion rubs off on his team mates.
The Ox had a dream of a first season for Arsenal. He has never looked out of his depth and just takes everything in his stride. His composure and his skill led to his surprise inclusion in the Senior England squad for Euro 2012 and that seems to have increased his appetite for football even more.
The dynamic winger was so eager to get back to Arsenal he asked Arsene Wenger to allow him to start training before he was due in. “To get back into training, see the boys and play football again-I just can’t wait for it.” The youngster must sometimes feel like pinching himself to check he’s not dreaming.
The Ox has gone from the Championship to being the youngest Englishman to score in the Champion’s league and being hailed as the future of English football in less than 12 months.
