Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in Arsenal defender Calum Chambers.
The report claims that Palace camp believe that a compromise can be struck on a permanent sale rather than the potential loan that was initially discussed.
Arsene Wenger is planning to sell a number of players from the squad this summer, and is looking to cash in on the 22-year-old.

Chambers spent the last season on loan at Middlesbrough where he made 24 Premier League appearances. He was also impressive for his country during the England Under-21s at the summer’s European Championships.
He is a versatile and technically accomplished defender who can play as a full-back, a central midfielder and a centre-back..

Chambers is behind the likes of Laurent Koscielny, Shkodran Mustafi, Gabriel and Rob Holding in the pecking order, among Wenger’s centre-back.
Frank De Boer considers Chambers as a ball playing centre-half who can fit into his 3-4-3 formation, reported by The Guardian. The newspaper claims that Palace are “confident” that a permanent deal can be agreed.
Palace have only signed Ruben Loftus-Cheek on a season-long loan from Chelsea, and have a deal in place for Ajax defender Jairo Riedewald.
