Arsenal starlet Oxlade-Chamberlain eyeing big personal improvement

Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is looking to develop his game rapidly with the North London club and feels he has so much more to offer.

The 18-year old winger has appeared four times for the Gunners, scoring two goals in all competitions, but he is planning to work his way into Arsene Wenger's plans whilst continuing to get better as a player with the help of senior stars at the Emirates Stadium.

"I think there's a lot more to come from me so I am just going to keep working hard, keep learning in training and get some more appearances to do well," he told the club's official website.

"It's down to me at the end of the day, I've got to put pressure on the boss to select me. I can only do that by training well and, when I do get my chance, impress him. The boss has said it's up to me, he's going to work with me the same way I have to with him.

"It's a work in progress and I don't think there's any need to rush into things. I trust the boss and he's going to develop me in the same way.

"I knew that when I signed here it would be hard for me.

"I was playing more week-in week-out at Southampton and I knew that maybe in my first season I wouldn't get a lot of game time.

"But I'm learning so much in training from the likes of Robin van Persie and the rest of the boys - and the manager as well. I've only had a few appearances but I've scored two goals and I'm happy with that."
