Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has stated emphatically that midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will not face the exit doors at the Emirates stadium this summer.
Chamberlain has 12 months left on his contract at the Emirates, and he is a major target for Premier League champions Chelsea.
Chelsea coach Antonio Conte has reportedly told the club chiefs to make an offer for the Englishman as he wants the 23-year-old to bolster his midfield.

Chamberlain could be tempted to leave the Emirates Stadium as he would have the chance to play in the UEFA Champions League should he make a move to Stamford Bridge.
''Yes, he is staying here. Why? Personally, because I rate him highly and he's one of the players who is on his way up.
''In the last year, he has made huge progress and personally I want him to stay here for a long time.
