Goal revealed the Gunners' interest in the 19-year-old earlier this month and, after agreeing personal terms over the weekend, the England Under-19 international becomes the fifth player to leave St. Mary's this summer as the south- coast outfit's firesale continues. The teenager, who will cost an initial £10m, becomes the latest Southampton academy product to move to the Emirates Stadium, following in the footsteps of Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

"I am so happy to be signing for Arsenal. They are a team I have much admired for their playing style, and a team who have been one of the top sides in Europe for many years," he told the club's official website. "I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone at Southampton FC for everything they have done for me and for making this move possible." Chambers is expected to provide competition and cover for Mathieu Debuchy, who joined the FA Cup winners from Newcastle earlier this summer, and his arrival could pave the way for Carl Jenkinson to join Hull City. |
