His call up really does cap an astonishing rise to stardom for the £12million signing from Southampton, who only made his Gunners debut in August - in the 8-2 defeat to Manchester United.
Chamberlain has been speaking about how surprised he is at his rapid rise to fame, and his inclusion in the England squad, but you get the feeling that this summer might just be the start of a very special career.
Chamberlain has not played too much football for Arsenal, with Arsene Wenger looking to drip him in gradually into the limelight. However, when he has played, he has demonstrated how good of a footballer he is, both physically, technically, tactically, and even mentally.
He is in the squad on merit, and Roy Hodgson was right to choose the nineteen-year-old.
Even if he doesn’t feature in any of the games, which I think he will, the experience alone will prove to be very beneficial for himself and England in the future. Mixing with experienced players like John Terry, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, and Wayne Rooney will be a great learning curve for him.
The funny thing is that, just a few years ago, these players would have been Chamberlain’s idols, as he watched England at home like any other kid in England – but, this summer, he could well be one of the main players for the side.
