Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is eager to cool the hype around Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Wenger believes Oxlade-Chamberlain's time with England will eventually come if he continues to focus on his Arsenal career.

"I believe any player must play 100 games and then you talk about him because when a player has five or six games on the Premier League, every time you have ups and downs," said the Frenchman. "He learns his job at the moment.

"I am a strong believer in Oxlade-Chamberlain and I spent quite good money for him. But he needs time. You are not ready from one day to the next at the top, top level."
