Arsene Wenger has confirmed that he wants Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to stay at Arsenal after appearing surprised by speculation linking the winger with a move away.
Reports have emerged in recent weeks suggesting that the England international was considering a summer departure after becoming disillusioned about the club's ambitions and form.
"I haven't seen that, I don't know," Wenger told reporters at Thursday's club press conference when asked about Oxlade-Chamberlain wanting to leave.
"I'm surprised by that because I believe he has developed well, developing well at the moment, he's been given his chance. When you are somewhere you have to want to be there first.
"After all I can say is personally I rate him highly, I showed that in the way I kept faith in him when he was injured. I personally wish that he stays at the club, he's a very promising player who has developed very well, looks to have the values we rate at this club."
Oxlade-Chamberlain has been linked with a move to Manchester United, while Liverpool and Everton are also thought to be monitoring his situation.
