Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain relishing Euro 2016 challenge

Oxlade-Chamberlain relishing Euro 2016

England midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has revealed that he and his teammates are relishing the challenge ahead of them at Euro 2016.

The Three Lions eased their way into the tournament in France next year by winning all of their qualifying matches, including their final game against Lithuania courtesy of a 3-0 victory on Monday.

Oxlade-Chamberlain has insisted that his side have to keep up the momentum again during qualifying in their upcoming friendly matches to take it into the competition.

He told the FA's official website: "We are very excited about going to France and we have belief in our squad.

"Moving forward, it is very young with some important experienced players as well and if the young boys keep developing, we have a long season ahead of us, then it is a good opportunity for all of us to go and show that we deserve to be there.

"We are all really excited to go to the Euros and we have to have belief in ourselves that we can do something good but obviously we have the warm up games now and we have to focus on those. It is going to be a tough task but we need to beat those teams or compete with those teams if we want to do really well, so that is our next task and that is what we are going to go and do."

England are next in action against Spain on November 13.
