Oxlade-Chamberlain impressed by Cazorla

Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is confident that new addition Santi Cazorla will prove to be a ‘massive asset for the club’.

The Spain international impressed despite the Gunners enduring an opening 0-0 stalemate against Sunderland in the Premier League at the weekend.

Oxlade-Chamberlain believes that Cazorla, who was acquired for 18 million pounds in the summer, is a positive signing and is certain he will play an important role for the club.

“(Cazorla) is a brilliant player,” Oxlade-Chamberlain said.

“He is a typical Spanish player – right foot, left foot, technically brilliant.

“He is a clever player. He is not the most physical, he is only short. But I think that highlights how good he must be in his head and with his feet.

“From what I have seen so far, he is a massive asset for the club and he is a really good lad as well, which always helps.

“I think he is going to do really well for us.”
