Oxlade-Chamberlain turned down interest from the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City to move to Emirates Stadium earlier this year.
“Is it best for me to be here? I think so. Since I’ve been here, the young boys get a lot of chances in the cups and it is a great place to be. You are always learning,” he said.
“When I came here, I didn’t think I was going to jump into the squad straight away. Coming from Southampton, I played week in, week out.
“Signing here, I knew I wasn’t going to be involved as much and I’d have been naive to think I would.
“But just being able to train with these players every day, listening to the manager and just being around Arsenal, I have learned so much.
“I wouldn’t have changed anything for the world. The next step is to push on into the squad.
“At the same time, though, there is no rush. I trust the boss to progress me in the best way, he is a top man, very intelligent.”
Chamberlain has been tipped as a possible contender for Fabio Capello’s England Euro 2012 aquad.
“I don’t look too much into that. I am not in the senior squad, I am in the Under-21s and the way I see it is we go away in February with the U21s and that is my focus,” he said.
“I have a lot of impressing to do at Arsenal before I think about going away with England.
“But if people are saying that, it is quite flattering to know you are being considered. My focus, though, is here at Arsenal.”
