Arsenal table bid for Southampton fullback Chambers

Arsenal are on the brink of signing Southampton fullback Calum Chambers. The Daily Star says the 19-year-old right-back has only made 23 first team appearances for the Saints.

But Gunners' boss Arsene Wenger believes he has seen enough to recognise his potential.

Chambers passed a medical on Thursday and agreed the terms of a five-year deal last night.

Arsenal have already signed Mathieu Debuchy from Newcastle for £10m but want another full-back after allowing Bacary Sagna to join Manchester City, with Carl Jenkinson also set to leave.

Chambers is another product of Southampton's fruitful academy and has been a regular with England under-19s.
