Calum Chambers to join Southampton

Arsenal defender Calum Chambers will reportedly link up with former club Southampton on loan for the remainder of the season.

The England international joined the Gunners from the Saints last season, and has since then played a bit-part role in the starting setup.

According to The Sun, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will send the young defender back to South Coast in order to gain some valuable first-team experience.

It is added that Ronald Koeman's side could extend the deal by a further year, should he impress in his return to St.Mary's.

Chambers has the potential to play in central defence, at right back or in midfield.
