Arsenal winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has admitted that he took some time to settle into life in North London following his move from Southampton in 2011.

The 21-year-old has revealed that Emmanuel Eboue, who now plays for Turkish side Galatasaray, helped him feel welcome upon his arrival.

"I remember I couldn't even pass the ball more than five yards in the first 10 minutes [of training]," Oxlade-Chamberlain told Arsenal Player.

"Eboue made me feel comfortable and welcome with his jokes and his laughing and I settled into it a little bit more. It's been a great experience for me, now I feel like this is home."

Arsenal are currently fifth in the Premier League table.
