Wenger backing Oxlade-Chamberlain

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is convinced rising star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will make England's Euro 2012 squad if he continues his current impressive form.

Despite being just 18 years old, Oxlade-Chamberlain has made a big impression since he joined the north London club last summer from Southampton.

"You cannot take him out of the team, you have to keep him there," Wenger said on Arsenal's website. "Until the end of the season there is no problem and if he continues to play like this I am convinced he will go to Euro 2012."
