Arsenal ace reveals why he is prepared to pick up the phone to Thierry Henry

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hasn't found the net away from home for Arsenal

ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN has explained he is willing to ask Thierry Henry for advice as he is concerned about his return in front of goal for Arsenal.

 

The England winger has only netted 13 times in four years with the Gunners and all his strikes have come at the Emirates.

Oxlade-Chamberlain was on the scoresheet for the Three Lions as they wrapped up their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign with a 3-0 win against Lithuania last night.

And the 22-year-old claims he's not afraid to call on Henry for help to address the situation.

 

"I might have to have a few words with Thierry. I think there’s no better man to advise you on how to get a goal here or there," Oxlade-Chamberlain said as quoted by the Daily Mirror.

"My goals record is definitely something I think of. It’s something, as an attacking player, you have to be aware of.

“You can’t force it too much because you start to do the wrong things on the pitch if you try to force shots that are not on but it is definitely something I think about and work on.

 

Thierry Henry was prolific for Arsenal

“I watch games back and see positions, it’s more so for me getting in the right positions to score the ‘easy’ goals as they say. 

"There’s no easy goals but the tap-ins at the back post and stuff like that.

“That’s something I’m more conscious of. It’s definitely something I’m aware of so if I am able to get on the score-sheet like in Lithuania it’s something I’m happy about it."
