Southampton manager Nigel Adkins has responded to remarks made by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain that he wants to play in the Premier League. He told Sky Sports News:

“Obviously in the last couple of days there have been a few comments that have come out nationally. The expectation for a 17-year-old boy and his parents to be linked with big football clubs obviously will play on people’s minds, but I think he’s handled himself ever so well, and he’s loved at Southampton. We believe it’s better for him to stay at Southampton and play his football and keep developing. We’ve got to try to make sure we look after a young boy who’s handled himself ever so well but has been placed in a situation with speculation. It’s speculation with big football clubs people always dream about.”

Oxlade-Chamberlain has been linked with moves to Arsenal and Liverpool.

This week it is former LFC WAG Claudine Keane!
