Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has suggested that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain can improve his game by observing teammate Alexis Sanchez.
Chile international Sanchez scored 28 goals in 60 appearances for the Gunners, while Oxlade-Chamberlain has netted 13 times in 126 games.
However, Wenger has said that the England man will find the back of the net on a more regular basis when he improves his attacking positions.
"For me it is down to the quality of the reception. That means the area you get the ball, and that makes Alexis difficult to mark because he gets into positions where he can score," Wenger told SBS.
"Alex is a good finisher, he gets into good positions and that is what he has to learn from him. You can work on it, knowing where to be at the right moment.
"I see [Alex] train every day, he is dedicated, focused, hungry. His dad said he lacks a bit of self-belief and I can confirm that because he is very critical of himself. That's positive and a sign of top-level sportsmen but you have to find the right balance: not happy with what you do without harming the confidence."
Arsenal face Olympiacos in the Champions League this evening.
