1 England star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain believes seeing so many Arsenal players playing for England can only be good for club and country.

At one point during the Three Lions’ 5-0 win over San Marino there were five Gunners stars on the pitch.

And the midfielder reckons Roy Hodgson and Arsene Wenger can benefit from the north London side’s new policy of snapping up young English talent.

Oxlade-Chamberlain said: “Being at Arsenal I’ve felt that [English] presence around our dressing room and to be able to come away with England with so many of your team-mates is a really nice feeling.

“I think it’s really good for England and I think it’s nice for Arsenal as a club and the fans and we’ve still got Theo Walcott to come back. We can’t count him out because I’m sure he’ll be back in the squad.”
