talksport
Alex Oxlade-chamberlain has given Arsenal a boost by revealing he's ready to sit down for talks over a new deal at the club.
Arsenal have been left reeling this summer following the exits of key players Robin Van Persie and Alex Song.
It has led to fears among fans that the club cannot keep hold of their main assets and when reports emerged of Theo Walcott's reluctance to pen a new deal - his contract expires next summer - supporters had that sinking feeling again.
Walcott's contract situation remains uneasy but there are no such fears for Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has made great strides since signing from Southampton last summer.
Although he is currently on international duty with England, Oxlade-Chamberlain says he is willing to discuss a new deal.
His current contract is rather long already, expiring in 2017, but AOC said: "I haven't given it much thought. Obviously, if Arsenal and I want to sit down and talk about that, it will be really good.
"I am loving my time at Arsenal and I planning on being there for a while.
"But at the moment I am focusing on England."
