Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

I'll handle living on my own. You've got to learn somehow. I'll take it all in my stride like I do everything else. ”

I just want to be able to be an attacking influence and have that effect further up the pitch; whether that's from an attacking midfield position or one of the wider positions coming in, I'm not too fussed. ”

Spain have got a big influence from Real Madrid and Barcelona, and when you watch Spain play, it's almost like watching Barcelona or Real Madrid at times. ”

I want to thank the Arsenal fans who've always supported me. But I can't apologise for my decision to leave. I want to get more out of myself. I felt the main thing was taking myself out of my comfort zone. That's why Liverpool shouted out for me. ”

Playing in a team like Arsenal helps massively having all of these players around you giving you advice. When they are playing well, you feel comfortable, and it helps you to play well, too. ”

There is always room for improvement, and I have always grown up knowing however well I have done, there is always something I could have done better. ”

My dad speaks a lot of sense and keeps me grounded. He'll watch me play and, if I've done well, he'll have a quiet word with me and say, 'Well done.' If I've had a not-so-good game, he'll let me know about it. ”

I am really close to my mum. She always made me do my school and make sure I got all my grades. She is a physiotherapist, which is a massive help to me, so in terms of nutrition, she was the one who made sure I was eating all the right food, and I can only thank her that she kept me fit and healthy. ”

It's nice when you know the crowd are on your side. I can only repay them by working my hardest when I do get on and trying to impress them. ”

When you have a good bunch of youthful players, it's good to start them off together earlier rather than later, as they build up friendships. ”
