Arsenal youngster Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has hailed the quality of new signing Santi Cazorla and said that he cannot wait to play alongside the Spanish international.

The 19-year-old believes Cazorla is the kind of player that he feels can complement his attacking style.

Chamberlain said: "He's brilliant, a typical Spanish player, really technical. He's small so he's not the most physical but that highlights how good he is with his feet and with his mind.

"We saw against Sunderland what he's capable of. I thought he had a good game, he did a lot of clever things. I played with him in Cologne in midfield and got on really well with him there.

"You know when you get a buzz off a player, and you could bounce off him and get good vibes. Santi has that with everyone because he's that sort of player."

Chamberlain will make his return from an ankle injury this weekend alongside Cazorla as Arsene Wenger's side take on Stoke City.
