Calum Chambers has signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal. The 23-year-old defender has made 83 appearances since joining the Gunners from Southampton in summer 2014.
Head coach Unai Emery said: “I’m delighted Calum has extended his stay with us. He played an important role last season and will be part of my plans this season.”
The centre-back struggled for playing time under Arsene Wenger but the new contract, confirmed by a club source, shows that Unai Emery views him as part of his plans.
Chambers, 23, spent the 2016-17 season on loan at Middlesbrough and made 12 Premier League starts for the Gunners last season.
The contract will keep him at the Emirates until 2022.
