Calum Chambers moved from Southampton to Arsenal two years ago, and BETVICTOR now make the Saints favourites to resign their former star.

Popular bookmakers BETVICTOR have made Southampton the new 3/1 favourites to sign former player and current Arsenal defender Calum Chambers.

The 21-year-old has had to endure a stop-start introduction to his Premier League career since his move to the Gunners two years ago, making just 20 league starts.

It is unlikely that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger would consider selling Chambers, with the former Saints man’s potential still considered to be of a level where he could become one of the league’s best defenders.

A loan deal, however, would benefit all parties concerned, especially if the Gunners tie up the deal to sign German centre-back Shkodran Mustafi as expected.

BETVICTOR list Hull City second favourites at 6/1.

Claude Puel’s men have made a stuttering start to their Premier League campaign, with a draw and a loss from their opening two fixtures.

Although it looks like Jose Fonte has committed his future to the club by reportedly agreeing a new contract with the St Mary’s outfit (The Mirror), the South Coast club could still benefit from having another defender as part of their group.

Chambers’ versatility enables him to play at right-back or as a central defender, and should a move come to fruition, he would certainly strengthen the Southampton squad.
