Arsenal are set to complete their fourth summer signing of Calum Chambers for £12million according to Independent. While Daily Mail reported that Arsenal are eyeing him and will offer a decent bid.
The Gunners have landed three players so far this summer, attacker Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona, right-back Mathieu Debuchy from Newcastle and goalkeeper David Ospina from Nice and reports are strongly suggesting that Chambers will become the fourth summer signing.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has already admired him several times, boss told “He is a player I wanted because I rated his quality and intelligence. He is only 19 and can play at center-back, right-back and central midfield. I hope he will give us competition for the players in those three positions.”
The 19-year-old will surely not get enough chance at Arsenal at his preferred right-back position in the coming season as they have signed an experience right back Debuchy from Newcastle but the teenager is only 19 can be loaned out or can be used as a backup.
The Englishman made 22 Premier League appearances for the Saints last season.
Do you think Arsenal need another defender?
Even Wenger said that English players are expensive and signing Chambers for such amount is a gamble but he hopes that Chambers will prove his worth.
