Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has admitted that he learnt plenty with the England squad at Euro2012.
The 18-year old Arsenal winger made three appearances for the Three Lions in Poland and Ukraine.
He was handed the start in the group opener against France, and believes the experience has made him a much better player who is now targeting bigger things for club and country.
The former Southampton star said : “I enjoyed every minute of it, it was amazing for me,”.
“I have come such a long way – from last season’s pre-season to going away with England in a massive tournament this year.
“I learnt so much from going away to the Euros and it makes you want to strive for more.
“The next tournament coming up is Brazil in 2014 but first and foremost I need to concentrate on Arsenal. But on the international stage I need to keep impressing the manager.”
