Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has described Arsenal’s FA Cup win as the highlight of his career and says the victory has increased his desire to win more silverware.

The England international sat out the 3-2 victory over Hull City at Wembley due to injury but says that he has been inspired by the occasion.

“It was a great day and that feeling of winning something has been the highlight of my career,” Oxlade-Chamberlain told the Sunday People.

Winning the FA Cup really does inspire you and make you hungry for more Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

“I will definitely take that into the World Cup. We are entering into the most prestigious tournament in world football, a tournament that everyone dreams of winning.

“Winning the FA Cup really does inspire you and make you hungry for more.”

The 20-year-old also insisted that he is raring to go ahead of the World Cup in Brazil this summer.

“I do feel like a coiled spring,” he added. “The week in Portugal was really important to me in terms of fitness – obviously having a bit of time off, your fitness levels drop slightly.

“I kind of got used to being a spectator, I was out for five months, so the two or three weeks at the end of the season wasn’t too bad because I knew I was getting myself right.

“Hopefully, that lack of football before Christmas means I’ve got a little bit extra in the tank.”
