Chambers
Arsenal have signed full-back Calum Chambers from Southampton for an undisclosed fee, the London club have announced.
Chambers, 19, continues the exodus of players from St Mary’s after agreeing a “long-term” contract with the Gunners.
“Calum has a lot of the attributes that
we look for in a young player. I’m sure he will do well with us,”
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told the club’s official website.
Chambers, who can also play at
centre-back, accumulated 22 appearances for Saints last season after
making his Premier League debut on the opening day of the campaign.
“We are very pleased that Calum has agreed to join us,” Wenger said.
“The way he adapted to the Premier League last season with Southampton at a young age shows that he has tremendous quality.”
The Southampton academy product is the
current captain of the England Under-19s and has been moved into defence
after starting his career as a midfielder.
