Arsenal have announced that defender, Calum Chambers has signed a two
year contract extension.
The 22 year old joined Arsenal from Southampton in 2014 as a 19 year
old for a fee of £16m and he featured regularly in his first season at
the club, and he has gone on to make 60 appearances for the club.
However, he spent last season at Middleborough where he had a fruitful
loan spell despite their relegation from the Premier League.
With his return to the club at the beginning of new the season, he was
the subject of interest from several clubs. With a £20m bid from
Crystal Palace which was rejected by the club, with the club reported
to have held on for a fee close to £25m.
But it was Gabriel that was sold during the transfer window, and
Arsene Wenger opted instead to keep the England U21 international at
the club.
He has made just a single appearance for the club this season in the
League Cup win over Doncaster which was cut short with injury. He has
been out with a hip injury since that match in September.
With uncertainty over how long Mustafi would be out with the injury he
sustained during the international break, he could be in line for more
first team appearances in the absence of the German.
