The transfer was quite unexpected although the 27-year-old’s contract was set to expire this summer with no indications of a possible extention.

Arsenal have now loaned out Pablo Mari to Udinese, Folarin Balogun to Middlesbrough and Ainsley Maitland-Niles to Roma while Sead Kolasinac terminated his contract.

Chambers’s departure points to a possible arrival with Arsenal now short on defensive options however, there has been no indication of a possible arrival as of yet.
