Gunners stunned! Arsenal ‘have reached agreement’ to get shock Premier League deal done for Chambers

Arsenal centre-back Calum Chambers looks set to join Fulham on a season-long loan, despite signing a new contract earlier this transfer window.

After months of speculation that he could leave the club with Unai Emery eyeing up a number of potential summer deals, the Gunners shocked fans and handed Chambers a four-year deal, despite being a bit-part player with the club.

Chambers was signed four-years ago but has failed to make the kind of impact many had hoped and was used sparingly last season under Arsene Wenger, as the Frenchman was not fully convinced of his ability.

But Emery has seen something in Chambers that Wenger hasn’t and admitted he was delighted to see the Englishman sign up.

“I’m delighted Calum has extended his stay with us. He played an important role last season and will be part of my plans this season,” Emery said on the Arsenal website.

But how things have changed very quickly as the Sky Sports news website has now claimed Fulham will take Chambers on loan for the season, as the two clubs have reached agreement over a loan fee and if personal terms are agreed, the player could undergo a medical later on this week.

It will come as a massive surprise to many fans to see Chambers on his way on-loan once again, as a new deal should have meant a fresh start at the Emirates.
