Wenger bullish over Ox future

ARSENE WENGER believes 18-year-old Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be ready to go to the European Championships with England next summer.

Arsenal’s £12m summer signing from Southampton has wasted no time justifying Arsene Wenger’s faith in him by scoring in his last two club appearances.

Now Wenger, who advised former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson to take Theo Walcott to the World Cup in 2006 as a 17-year-old, believes Oxlade-Chamberlain could be a surprise package for England when they head to Poland and Ukraine.
