Arsenal are set to complete the £16 million
signing of Calum Chambers after the
Southampton right-back agreed a deal to join
the Gunners, Goal understands.

The promising 19-year-old is now expected to
be announced as an Arsenal player early next
week after completing a medical with the
north London club on Friday.
Goal revealed on Friday that Arsenal had
agreed a fee with Southampton to sign the
defender
, which will see the Gunners pay an initial
£10m for the teenager in a deal which will rise
to £16m.
Liverpool were also interested in signing
Chambers, but the promising youngster has
followed former Southampton youth products
Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in
linking up with Arsene Wenger.

Chambers will follow Mauricio Pochettino,
Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana out of St
Mary's this summer, while Dejan Lovren and
Morgan Schneiderlin could also be on the way
out.

The Gunners have re-emerged as rivals for
Tottenham to sign Schneiderlin
, while Liverpool are closing in on Lovren .
Southampton boss Ronald Koeman had hoped
to keep Chambers as competition for
Nathaniel Clyne, but the Dutchman reluctantly
accepted the transfer would go through.
Arsenal manager Wenger, who has also signed
Mathieu Debuchy from Newcastle United this
summer and seen Bacary Sagna move to
Manchester City, is now expected to let Carl
Jenkinson leave the Gunners in a loan deal.
Sunderland, Swansea, West Ham and Hull
have all shown an interest in the 22-year-old,
who has failed to establish himself as a first
team regular since moving to Arsenal as a
teenager in 2011.
