Arsenal skipper Van Persie: Big prospect Oxlade-Chamberlain an England must

Arsenal captain Robin van Persie is backing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to make England's Euros squad. Van Persie admitted he would want Oxlade-Chamberlain to play alongside him this summer if he were Dutch.

"Yes, why not?" he said. "We've got a really strong team (and) there are lots of good attacking players there, but why not? I really like him.

"In the future, (he can) definitely (play for England). He's a big prospect.

"Everyone is enjoying watching him. I do, you do and he brings something extra to the game and people just love it.

"He's not someone who thinks about negatives, just positives, and you can enjoy the game like that."
