ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN will be rewarded for his stunning impact at Arsenal with a new contract.
Talks should start later this month over a fresh deal even though the England midfielder, 19, still has four years to run on his current agreement.
Manager Arsene Wenger has seen the likes of Robin van Persie, Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri quit the club, despite his attempts to keep them.
Now he hopes by showing faith in Oxlade-Chamberlain, he can build a new dynasty.
And with The Ox signing up, it may persuade his friend and mentor Theo Walcott to do the same.
Walcott, 23, is in the final year of his contract and has still to thrash out new terms.
He is able to talk to other clubs in January if no agreement has been reached.
