Crystal Palace reportedly maintain an interest in signing Arsenal defender Calum Chambers, who could be allowed to leave the Emirates Stadium this summer.

Arsenal defender Calum Chambers is reportedly continuing to attract interest from Crystal Palace.

It has previously been claimed that Palace have had a bid rejected for the England Under-21 international, who could be allowed to leave the Emirates Stadium ahead of next season.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Palace remain in the hunt for a player who spent last season as a first-team regular on loan at Middlesbrough.

The suggestion is that Arsenal are demanding £20m for Chambers, who can play at both right-back and centre-back, but Palace are keen to remain in negotiations with the Gunners.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is looking to generate funds during the summer transfer window, and receiving a sizeable fee for a player who has never fully established himself at the North Londoners will appeal to him.

Chambers has made 59 appearances for Arsenal, but he has only featured in the starting lineup in the Premier League on 20 occasions.
