Southampton<\/a>.
<\/span><\/p>\n
The England Under-21 winger scored nine goals in 34 League One appearances last season and believes he can emulate that form at a higher level for the Emirates outfit.<\/p>\nHe told Sky Sports<\/em>: “He’s [Arsene Wenger] just told me I need to put pressure on him, impress him in training and that’s all I can do.<\/p>\n“He’s just bought some new players now and I understand it’s going to be hard for me, but I’m a young lad coming into the club and I understand I’ve got a lot of hard work to do to try and impress him.”<\/p>\n
The youngster also said he has had no trouble settling in at the London club after admitting to originally being wary of his more illustrious team-mates.<\/p>\n
“I’ve settled in well,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt first I was a little apprehensive going in maybe, but all the boys have welcomed me nicely and I’m getting into the swing of things.<\/p>\n
“I understand there is a lot of hard work to establish myself and get in amongst it, but it’s going well for me.”<\/p>\n
Oxlade-Chamberlain also commented on the quality of the other signings made by Arsene Wenger this summer, singling out German defender Per Mertesacker for praise.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think Arsenal would buy anybody who isn’t a good player,” he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’ve seen the likes of Per Mertesacker play and they look like quality signings. I think they will do a good job for us and help us to do well this year.”<\/p>\n
