Arsenal boss Wenger: I don't want to compare Oxlade-Chamberlain with Walcott

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger doesn't want to compare Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott.

Despite Oxlade-Chamberlain and Walcott both leaving Southampton to join Arsenal early in their careers, Wenger is refusing to draw comparisons between them.

He said: "I don't want to compare them. The only thing I would say is that Chamberlain already had a complete season in League One and he survived quite well.

"He was a few times injured on his ankle. He's 18 years old, Theo came here at 16 and a half or 17, so he is a bit older as well."
