Fulham were reportedly interested in Chambers last summer, and are said to have reignited their interest this time around.
Sky Sports have claimed on their Transfer Centre (12.14pm, Tuesday) that Fulham have reignited last summer’s interest in Arsenal defender Calum Chambers.
Fulham were said to be keen on signing Chambers last summer though the Cottagers position in the Championship is said to have prevented a move. Following their promotion last month, they could stand a better chance.
The 23-year-old made 25 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal last season, but only 12 of those came in the Premier League and it remains to be seen if the former Southampton defender is a part of Unai Emery’s plans.
He faces competition from the likes of Shkodran Mustafi, Laurent Koscielny and Rob Holding, while the Gunners are said to be in talks to sign Dortmund’s Sokratis and Freiburg’s Caglar Soyuncu.
Chambers has plenty of Premier League experience, featuring in England’s top division 94 times after spells with Southampton and Arsenal as well as a season-long loan with Middlesbrough – which ended in relegation.
It is unclear how much Chambers would cost newly-promoted Fulham, with three years remaining on his contract at the Emirates. He cost the Gunners £16m from Southampton (BBC Sport).
