Manchester United legend David Beckham believes Arsenal superkid Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain can be England's joker.

Becks is sure the 18-year-old Arsenal ace can play a vital Euro 2012 role if Roy Hodgson's men progress to the tournament's later stages.

He said: "We've a great goalkeeper and a talented back four.

"Then when you have also got the likes of Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott, Milner, Gerrard, Parker and Welbeck, that's a dangerous group going forward and more dangerous than a lot of the teams I've seen in the competition so far."
