Arsenal are determined to protect Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from a media frenzy.< p> The Mirror says the latest are movie giants Disney, who have had a request for a photo-shoot rejected by Arsene Wenger.

The Gunners boss put his foot down because the shoot, proposed for this week, was too close to Sunday's north London derby against Tottenham.

Oxlade-Chamberlain - signed from Southampton in the summer - is already involved in a promotional campaign, alongside some of his team-mates, for auto giant Citroen.

Sports firm Nike also had him on billboards with the strapline "You ain't seen nothin' yet" - less than six months after his arrival at the Emirates.
