Arsene Wenger tips Calum Chambers for midfield role

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger claims that defender Calum Chambers could develop into a holding midfielder following his move from Southampton.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes that new signing Calum Chambers could go on to play as a holding midfielder.

The 19-year-old right-back joined the Gunners from Southampton last week for a fee in the region of £16m.

Wenger revealed that Chambers has impressed him in Arsenal's pre-season matches against Benfica and AS Monaco.

"He's one of the players over the two games who played very well," Wenger told reporters.

"He's 19 years old and he came here without talking, he plays two good games and is not phased by the quality of the games and the opponents at his first time at the Emirates at 19.

"He can play as well central midfield because he's got good technique, good mobility and is a great distance runner. At the moment it's where I can have a look at him. But I think he can also play central midfield."

Arsenal have also signed Alexis Sanchez, Mathieu Debuchy and David Ospina this summer.
