Calum Chambers signs for Arsenal
Calum Chambers has joined Arsenal from Southampton
on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee.
The 19-year-old made his Premier League debut for the
Saints on the opening day of the 2013/14 campaign,
going on to feature 22 times in the competition last
term.
Chambers joined the Southampton academy aged seven,
breaking into the club’s first team squad at the
beginning of 2012/13.
He has a lot of the attributes that we look for in a
young player and I am sure that he will do well with
us
Tall and athletic, the versatile youngster started his
career in midfield, but established himself at right back
last season and can also play in the centre of defence.
He is currently captain of England Under-19s.
Arsène Wenger said: "We are very pleased that Calum
has agreed to join us. The way he adapted to the
Premier League last season with Southampton at a
young age shows that he has tremendous quality. He
has a lot of the attributes that we look for in a young
player and I am sure that he will do well with us.”
Chambers said: "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. I'm looking forward to joining up
with my new team-mates today and beginning
preparation for the season ahead.
"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."
It is expected that Chambers will make his first Arsenal
appearance at the Emirates Cup 2014, which takes place
at Emirates Stadium on August 2 and 3.
Chambers’ Arsenal squad number will be revealed soon
