Arsenal captain Robin van Persie rates Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as having the same potential as Manchester United star Wayne Rooney.
Van Persie has backed the teenager to have the same effect as Rooney.
The Dutchman told The Sun: "Alex can have a big impact. He has everything you need, I'm sure he has a bright future for Arsenal and England.
"He's shown that already in a couple of games.
"He has pace, he is clever, knows when to pass, when to keep the ball and has good technique.
"He's a bit like Rooney, who I rate highly. Rooney's a big player and a good all-rounder who can score goals, provide assists and make nice runs - he has a bit of everything.
"And although Alex plays on the left or right - whereas Rooney plays more through the middle - that could change in the future. They are both good all-round players."
