Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has admitted that he can't wait to start the new season with Arsenal after impressing for England at Euro 2012.
The 18-year-old winger enjoyed a promising first season with the Gunners last year and he has revealed his excitement ahead of his return to pre-season training.
Oxlade-Chamberlain said: "To get back into training, see the boys and play football again - I just can't wait for it.
"I spoke to the boss and Colin [Lewin] the physio and they said I am in on Thursday, but I asked if I could come in earlier! I just can't wait to get started again and get cracking with the new season.
"I have come such a long way - from last season's pre-season to going away with England in a massive tournament this year."
Arsenal will travel to Asia later this month as part of their pre-season preparations.
