Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie believes Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has the potential to become a great at the Emirates Stadium.


The 18-year-old, who joined from Southampton last year, has been lighting up the Emirates with his performances in recent weeks, with fine displays in the Premier League against Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers.

Oxlade-Chamberlain bagged himself a brace against the Lancashire outfit on Saturday and was a threat throughout the game before his was substituted by loan-star Thierry Henry.

Van Persie also played a massive part in the victory over Rovers with three goals of his own, however the Dutch international has taken time to praise Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has the potential to be a Gunners great.

He said: "It's always good to have a good mixture of young talents, experienced players and I really like him.

"He is a fantastic player already, he's only 18 and is so young. He's good on the ball, he has everything.

"In the future (he can make the England team), definitely. He's a big prospect. Everyone is enjoying watching him, I do, you do and he brings something extra to the game and people just love it."
