Mikel Arteta: 'Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain one of the best talents I've seen'

Mikel Arteta believes that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is ready to make a big impact for Arsenal after his winner in the Community Shield.

Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta has claimed that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain can take his game to another level after scoring the only goal in the Community Shield triumph over Chelsea.

The England international's strike made the difference as the Gunners clinched victory at Wembley on Sunday, and Arteta believes that his teammate can continue to improve after injuries kept him on the fringes of the side for much of last season.

"[The goal was] unbelievable, but Alex can do that every week if he wants to," the Spaniard told the club's website.

"He's a terrific player, one of the best talents I've seen, and he's got the world open for what he wants to do. It's up to him."

Arsenal begin their Premier League campaign by hosting West Ham United on Sunday.
