Report: Arsenal expecting to lose Callum Chambers this summer

According to the Evening Standard, Arsenal are expecting to receive bids for out-of-favour defender, Callum Chambers, this summer.

The former Southampton man has fallen down the pecking order with the Gunners. His time with the club has been blighted by injury, while the summer addition of Gabriel Magalhaes and the emergence of Rob Holding has stunted his progress further.

Chambers, 25, is about to enter the final year of his reported £50k-a-week deal. And with Arsenal said to be eyeing up Ibrahima Konate, the ES claim Chambers could well be on his way.

William Saliba is also due back from a loan spell in France, while David Luiz is still on the books, for now at least.

Chambers has just the three Europa League appearances to his name this season. He has, however, been left out completely of the last two squads to face Man City and Leicester.

TBR View: Chambers should leave Arsenal to rebuild career

There is definitely a good player in there with Callum Chambers. He has been so unlucky with a series of injuries but with Konate in sight and Gabriel through the door, an exit seems likely.

Chambers would slot in nicely for a number of clubs. He’d not cost the world and he’s versatile enough to play a couple of roles, too.

Arsenal have given it a good go with the three-time England international. But it appears to just be one of those things in football where his time will come to an end.
