Where Arsenal Stand On Departures As Wenger Confirms He’ll Be “Busy” This Week

5 – Calum Chambers

  • Interested clubs: Crystal Palace
  • Asking price: £20million
  • Current wages: £20,000p/w

Arguably the most talented of this entire departing bunch and he’s on the lowest wages, things just haven’t worked out at the right time for Chambers.

Rob Holding has surprised us all and despite being best friends with Chambers, looks to have taken the ‘next best English thing’ spot in our defensive set-up.

Arsenal wouldn’t be downhearted if they failed to shift Chambers on because he’s a promising talent and isn’t taking up too much of our wage bill to be an issue.

However, having a player go from featuring all season with Middlesbrough to being our fifth or sixth option in defence, he’ll be busting to get out of here and increase his chances in the national team.

Chambers has become a hugely important member of the England Under-21’s and he’ll be hoping that could be a stepping stone for a place in our World Cup squad next year.
