Carragher fears for Arsenal's Oxlade-Chamberlain over Alexis deal

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher worries for Arsenal's England players after their swoop for Alexis Sanchez.

Carragher is frustrated the player did not choose to join his former club and wonders if the signing will restrict the development of some of Arsenal's England internationals.

"I think it's a great signing for Arsenal," he told Sky Sports News.

"I'm disappointed he hasn't chosen Liverpool. I thought he may have become involved with the Luis Suarez deal, so it's a blow for Liverpool to lose Suarez and miss out on him.

"He's a great signing for Arsenal and he's something that they need as well. I'm not sure where he's going to play because I don't think he's an out-and-out centre forward.

"For Chile, he played through the middle and he could do that, but I don't think he's an out-and-out centre-forward and that may have an impact on Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain getting in the Arsenal team."
