Arsenal are stepping up interest in Southampton right-back Calum Chambers.
Manager Arsene Wenger has admired the 19-year-old for some time and has had favourable scouting reports throughout the season.
Although
he has bought Mathieu Debuchy from Newcastle, he is allowing Carl
Jenkinson to leave and that will vacate room for Chambers.
Wanted man: Arsenal are stepping up interest in Southampton right-back Calum Chambers
Opposite direction? Serge Gnabry is wanted by the Saints as they begin rebuilding for this season
Southampton
have an interest in Arsenal midfielder Serge Gnabry while Liverpool's
Martin Kelly is understood to be on their radar also.
Manager
Ronald Koeman believes he can find better players than some of the ones
he has sold but will be sorry to lose Chambers who he has had good
reports on.
Koeman
wants a goalkeeper also. He is reluctant to pay the £12-15m Cardiff
have quoted for David Marshall while Celtic want at least £8m for Fraser
Forster. That has pushed Norwich and England keeper John Ruddy into the
frame who is also on Arsenal's list if they fail to sign David Ospina
from Nice.
