As reported by Metro, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta said: “[He is a] top character, one of the best characters I’ve met in football.
“If we can help him and give him the space for him to get up to speed and have the capacity to find a club. It’s a joy, the boys will learn from it.
“I had the privilege to play with him and if he is around he will be a really good role model to have around the team.”
Arteta and Oxlade-Chamberlain both signed for Arsenal in the summer of 2011, joining from Everton and Southampton respectively.
