Arsenal winger Oxlade-Chamberlain: It's not my fault I get played everywhere!

Arsenal ace Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain says that it is not his fault that he keeps playing in different positions.

However, the 23-year-old, who has enjoyed his most prolific season with the Gunners, sees the positive aspect of it and says that his versatility can only benefit his chances of getting picked up in a starting eleven.

"It's not my fault people keep putting me everywhere!" he said. "I play where I'm told to play. The more positions I can play, it gives the manager a nice headache and it can be helpful for him.

"I understand about really nailing down one but the way Arsenal and England play, the boys are all interchanging other than the defenders. Everyone has that licence to drift around.

"I've played on the wing in some games and found myself in the middle for five or 10 minutes when others drift wide. It's about creating chances, scoring goals and helping the team win."
