Arsenal are ready to part ways with defender Calum Chambers amidst heavy interest from newly-promoted Premier League sides Fulham and Leeds United.
A report in TEAMtalk claims: “Arsenal will sell Callum Chambers for the right price this summer and TEAMtalk understands Leeds are ready to fight Fulham for his signature.
“As such, Arsenal have made it clear to Chambers that he can move on with a price of around £12m placed on his head. The Gunners also made it clear they would like to sell, rather than loan Chambers out. As far as Arteta is concerned, Chambers’ Arsenal career is over.
“We can reveal both Fulham and Leeds have both spoken Arsenal. Chambers knows Fulham well having spent 2018/19 on-loan at the club.
“Leeds, however, cannot be discounted. They have a connection through sporting director Victor Orta, who signed him during his time with Middlesbrough.”
Arsenal have brought in the Gabriel Magalhaes from Lille while Pablo Mari has also been signed on a permanent deal meaning Calum Chambers will not even get to play in the cup fixtures if he decides to hang around at Arsenal next season.
The Gunners are also in need of transfer funds in order to bring in new players this summer and selling an unwanted and surplus centre-back like Calum Chambers should not be any cause of concern for Mikel Arteta.
During the 2019-20 season, the centre-back featured in only 14 Premier League games for the North London side and most of those matches came during the first half of the campaign.
Calum Chambers picked up a cruciate ligament injury at the start of the current year and since then he has not featured for the first XI at Arsenal.
