Arsenal’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain provides the lowdown on teammates…

Arsenal star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was asked to provide the lowdown on some of his teammates ahead of the FA Cup final in an attempt to gauge how the players behave behind the scenes.

We often stick to football – and rightly so – when discussing the characteristics of some our footballing heroes, though it’s nice to know who our players are as people.

The only ones to divulge such insight are usually teammates, and who better to step to the plate than our most eloquent player in Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The England forward was given names of random teammates by Arsenal presenter Nicole Holliday, and The Ox had 30 seconds to give us a character breakdown.

When it came to his friend Danny Welbeck, the Saints academy graduate revealed that his compatriot is the biggest prankster and is now often ignored by most of the team.

“Welbz is the prankster,” The Ox told Arsenal’s Facebook page.

“He’s just not a serious guy in the dressing room. If he asks you to get something, you ignore him now.

“Welbz is a prankster, but the dressing room is 20 times better with him in it.”

The 23-year-old also revealed that Mesut Ozil was one of the kindest players in the squad, capable of taking you on holiday at any given time without asking you to dip into your pockets.

It’s certainly an interesting watch and an insight we’re seldom given access to.

Check out the full breakdown on some of our players in the video above.
