Lukasz Fabianski: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is ready for Premier League action

Arsenal goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski believes young Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is ready to make his Premier League debut after impressing in training.

Speaking to Arsenal Player, the Poland International confessed that he knows very little of Costa Rica’s Joel Campbell but spent enough time with Oxlade-Chamberlain to understand that he’s a very good signing for the Gunners as he’s good on the ball, did well in training and likes the Arsenal style of football.

On the departure of Cesc Fabregas, the 26-year old declared that it’s a massive loss as the Catalan was a player who used to produce assists and score goals for the Gunners with the goalkeeper expecting other players to now step up and take responsibility.

On new signings and departures, Fabianski said:

[Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Joel Campbell?] To be honest, I didn’t see much of the boy [Joel] Campbell because he only joined us for the last two days and it was more recover training for the players so I cannot say a lot about him.

About Alex, you know, they’re both young, he is a very talented player, good on the ball, has great abilities, I think he’ll be a great addition to the squad and I’m really looking forward to seeing them in action.

[If he's ready for Premier League action?] I think so, I look at him at training, looks pretty decent, you can see that he’s good on the ball, he likes to play the passing game, that’s good for us, for Arsenal, he’s a great addition.

[Cesc Fabregas' departure?] He was a massive player for us, he always delivered that final ball, now we have to split the work amongst other players, they have to take more responsibility on their shoulders.

Players like Jack [Wilshere], Aaron Ramsey, Tomas Rosicky, they have to step up more because Cesc was a great player for us and every single season he had like twenty assists, scoring lots of goals, it’s a big miss.

    • Haris says:

      I like the idea, all quick players with van Persie the supplier. I just hope Arshavin doesn’t start on the left.

  • Danny says:

    Alex would get kicked off the park it would be JAR all over again only it wouldn’t be the nevilles double teaming him it would be Valencia and evra.

  • Gunnerrob says:

    By all accounts, Chamberlain is performing even better than expected in training, I think he’ll play a part on Sunday, Good luck to the boy, our new Ox in the box.

  • Aussie Gooner Dave says:

    It was doom and gloom after the Liverpool game. It was back to jubilation after Udinese and it will be back to being sad sacks after the ManYoo game. It’s worse than a bloody roller coaster! Chances of Wenger strengthening the squad before the transfer window closes….nil

  • Bouba says:

    Chamberlain is ready for the Premier league? based on what???

  • Arsenal1Again says:

    We can’t lose on Sunday, not with our awesome team.

  • tony says:

    He looks much bigger than Walcott physically. Maybe we sh’d have a front three of Ryo, Walcott and AOC. That kind of pace might even limit the foward forays of almost half of the ManUre team, frm the back four to the defensive midfielder.

  • Wallace says:

    Change of tactics needed for ManU…long balls to Walcott and AOC will do the trick
