Aaron Ramsey says Arsenal teammate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain deserves his England chance.

He believes the talented wideman, nicknamed The Ox, can ­deliver on the biggest stage in European football.

Ramsey told the Daily Star Sunday: "Alex has had a good season. He has played a few games for us and, every time he has played, he has put in a good performance.

"He's young, he's exciting and is quite mature as well. He definitely has a big future ahead of him.

"Everyone was delighted for him when he got the England call-up.

"He's definitely mature enough to handle the international stage. It was always going to happen at some point.

"I'm sure he will pick it up pretty quickly and if he gets the chance he will try his best to take it."
