Alexander Mark David "Alex" Oxlade-Chamberlain /ˌɒksleɪd ˈtʃeɪmbərlɪn/ (born 15 August 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Arsenal and the England national team.
After rising to prominence with Southampton during the 2010–11 season aged 17, he signed for Arsenal in August 2011. Scoring twice in his first three games for the club, Oxlade-Chamberlain became the youngest English goal scorer in UEFA Champions League history and has also claimed a regular place in the England Under-21s team. Fans have nicknamed Oxlade-Chamberlain "The Ox", derived from the first part of his surname, as well as his physical tenacity and powerful playing style.
Oxlade-Chamberlain made his debut for the senior England side on 26 May 2012 in a 1–0 win against Norway in a friendly. Following this, he received a surprise call-up to the England squad for UEFA Euro 2012, becoming the second youngest player ever to represent England in the European Championships behind Wayne Rooney.
Born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, Oxlade-Chamberlain attended the independent St John's College in Southsea, Portsmouth. He grew up as a Chelsea supporter.
