4 – Calum Chambers sent out on loan
As I’d like to see Howedes signed, I think Chambers needs a loan move. He desperately needs regular game time as he aims to realise his potential, and justify the large price tag that saw him join the Gunners.
A move back to his old club Southampton has been mooted, that would be a good move, but only if he were assured regular game time in the heart of defence. Arsenal need him to develop as a central defender, but at The Emirates he is behind three quality senior defenders. Perhaps a club lower down in the Premier League will be a better fit, as game time is the most important factor in Chambers’ career decisions right now.
