New Arsenal wonderkid Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain seems to be very satisfied of his progress this far and he said in an interview for Arsenal.com that all Gunner fans out there should expect much more coming from him in the future
“I think there’s a lot more to come from me so I am just going to keep working hard, keep learning in training and get some more appearances to do well,” he told Arsenal.com
“It’s down to me at the end of the day, I’ve got to put pressure on the boss to select me. I can only do that by training well and, when I do get my chance, impress him. The boss has said it’s up to me, he’s going to work with me the same way I have to with him.”
“It’s a work in progress and I don’t think there’s any need to rush into things. I trust the boss and he’s going to develop me in the same way.”
“I knew that when I signed here it would be hard for me,” added Oxlade-Chamberlain. “I was playing more week-in week-out at Southampton and I knew that maybe in my first season I wouldn’t get a lot of game time. “
“But I’m learning so much in training from the likes of Robin van Persie and the rest of the boys – and the manager as well. I’ve only had a few appearances but I’ve scored two goals and I’m happy with with that.”
It turned out so far that Wenger’s investment in Chamberlain was a worthy one, even though everybody thought at the beginning that the player would only prove to be another future star which wouldn’t end up fulfilling his potential just like many others. Sure, he still has a lot to learn, but at least he’s on the right tracks don’t you think?
