Arsenal's playmaker Mesut Ozil has urged boss Arsene Wenger to bolster the side and increase the squad's depth, after failing to compete with Europe's "big clubs" once again this season.
"When you look at our squad, it isn't as wide as Bayern Munich's or Real Madrid's".
Ozil has scored six goals and has made six assists in 24 games in the Premier League this season, which is significantly less than the German's 19 assists in the 2015-16 campaign. "If you look at the two games and take the first 45 minutes of the two games, we were qualified but then went out in such an emphatic way".
Wenger's declaration on wanting to keep Oxlade-Chamberlain comes despite the midfielder only being handed a start in 12 Premier League matches this season.
The 20-year-old ace was named in the Gunners Under-23 team to play Reading on the same day after he failed to feature in last week's 3-0 win against West Ham.
With Arsene Wenger's future on the line, Don Hutchison and Layla Anna-Lee discuss whether the Gunners will make the Top 4. "As a footballer, it is necessary to possess the supervisor's trust and believe they are able to develop you".

"This man has given so much to Arsenal and deserves to be remembered as a great manager, so hopefully the club can find a way to restructure and move forward, even if Wenger remains as manager". They are now four points out of the Champions League places having won just two of their last seven league outings.
"A slightly less busy season could create the chance to concentrate on rebuilding the team and the structure of the club behind the scenes to make them a more powerful force".
"The team have the aim to reach the Champions League and I'll fight for that. In the summer there is enough time to talk about other things", he added.
"The loyalty for me plays a part in representing the club".
"However, it has happened so many times before in football that it's just how it is".
Arsenal face another London derby as they travel south to face Crystal Palace on Monday night, with the relegation-threatened Eagles enjoying an upturn in results recently under Sam Allardyce. In the summer we are going to surely discuss.
