Just over a year after buying Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Southampton, senior figures at Arsenal are ready to give the 19-year old England international a new and improved contract as a reward for his fantastic, form and improvement since coming to the Emirates. The Ox works as hard as his namesake and has got a brilliant attitude.
Due to the exceptional players in the Arsenal midfield this season and the formations used by Arsene Wenger, Ox has not played as much as he might have expected for the Gunners, but he was looking a little tired after a long season and summer.
His refeshing approach, combined with his pace and power have made him an instant favourite with the England fans and there is a good chance that Roy Hodgson will unleash him against San Marino in a couple of days. That will put the youngster on eight caps which will leave him just 92 to go to reach his target of 100.
The midfielder is not being arrogant but he is confident and is never one to shirk a challenge. He does not think about wages when he is asked about his future.
“Get as many caps as I can for England, score as many goals as I can for England and win as many things as I can with England and Arsenal.
“I guess I should say 100 as then I would be more than satisfied.
“The buzz of a massive tournament was an experience I will never forget and one I hope will happen every two years.”
Oxlade-Chamberlain has already scored one spectacular goal for the Gunners this season, hopefully there are many more of them and some silverware to come.
