Everton and Tottenham are said to be interested in the Arsenal defender, but a move to Newcastle or West Ham would actually be better for him.
Arsenal’s Calum Chambers celebrates scoring their third goal
Speculation is rife that Calum Chambers will leave Arsenal this summer after failing to assert himself at the Emirates Stadium since a 2014 switch from Southampton.
The Mirror reports that Everton, Newcastle United and West Ham United are all prepared to pay over £10m for the defender, who has been on-loan at Middlesbrough this season.
Meanwhile the Metro claims that Mauricio Pochettino is thinking of bring Chambers to Tottenham Hotspur, having previously worked with the 22-year-old at St Mary’s.
While on the face of it that reunion might seem appealing to the England international, he should avoid the temptation as superior options at right-back and in central defence at White Hart Lane means the youngster would suffer the same lack of game time that has occurred at Arsenal.

This could also be true at Everton, where Seamus Coleman is the undisputed first choice at right-back – although currently faces a lengthy spell out with a broken leg – while there are also more established options at centre-back.
The reason Chambers has excelled at Boro is because regular action has been on offer, something he is much more likely to achieve at Newcastle or West Ham.
An Arsenal exit would probably be the right decision, but the Englishman needs to think carefully about his next move.
