Reports: Southampton exodus continues with Arsenal set to land £16m starlet
Arsenal are on the verge of tying up a deal for Southampton defender Calum Chambers for a fee of £16m, according to reports.
The 19-year-old full back is believed to have passed a medical with the Gunners on Friday, with the deal likely to be confirmed in the coming days.
Chambers has been linked with Arsenal since the turn of the year, and follows the likes of Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw out of St Mary’s this summer.
He will provide competition for Mathieu Debuchy at right back, after the departure of Gunners stalwart Bacary Sagna to Manchester City.
His arrival means Arsenal right-back Carl Jenkinson, 22, is likely to go out on loan in a bid for first-team football.
