Official: Arsenal have announced Chambers' transfer to Villa, the exact cost of which is kept secret, and the defender has signed Villa to a three-and-a-half-year contract.
Chambers joined Arsenal from Southampton at just 19 years old in the summer of 2014 and was soon selected for the England national team as the all-rounder, having played 122 games for the Gunners so far, and helping Arsenal win the 2014 Community Shield title in his debut before winning the 2015 FA Cup with the team.
During his time at Arsenal, Chambers also had two loan spells, for Middlesbrough in 2016-17 and for Fulham in 2018-19, and he was named Fulham's best player of the season for his performance at the back.
Arsenal wish Chambers all the best in the next chapter of his career and thank him for his contributions to the team over the past 8 seasons.
Quite suddenly, from the rumors to the official announcement a few hours, belongs to the awakening to find that Arsenal is missing a deceased person...
It is a pity that Chambers did not meet expectations at Arsenal, in fact, he also gave people hope, especially in the season when he joined Fulham on loan, he showed potential in the midfield position, but unfortunately, after returning to Arsenal, Chambers suffered a serious injury, followed by a change of coach and injury suspension, and finally had to say goodbye.
Blessings for the future!
Chambers tweeted farewell to Arsenal: "Seven years of gunner career, enough comfort! Special thanks to Wenger for making this possible, and to all the staff at The Kearney base. Last but not least, I would also like to thank all the fans for their support of me, and it was you who made this an unforgettable experience! Karum. ”
Special thanks to Wenger, the only specific acknowledgment that Chambers mentioned, but not a word about Arteta. In fact, it is normal to thank the mentor, but not thanking the current coach still explains some problems...
In fact, Arteta also reused Chambers, but the Tower team employed people belong to a burst, this season suddenly abandoned Chambers, if the addition of Fuan Jianyang and Ben White makes it difficult for Chambers to fight for the main force is reasonable, but the substitutes do not give much opportunity or people wonder.
Anyway, good luck, Chambers has no merit and hard work!
With Chambers leaving, Arsenal currently have no other 2015 FA Cup-winning members (Bellerin is still there, but on loan at Betis), and Ernenni is now the longest Arsenal player in the first team (not counting Bellerin).
Not surprisingly, Ernenni and Bellerin will also leave the team this summer, and since Emery, Arsenal have begun to go to Thermoregation, which is normal...
CWS tweeted: My point is that Chambers' transaction looks strange and completely unclear. Looking at trades in recent weeks, Arsenal's mid-season squad has been incredibly weakened (and with little financial return). If no one joins by Monday's deadline, the stakes are really great.
Chambers is gone, let's evaluate the deal, I think many people agree with CWS, why arsenal let Chambers go at this time?
Arsenal loaned Mali and Niles in January, free release Chambers and Kolasinac, all of which are backcourt players and have not yet been replenished. Although the above people are all marginal players, Arsenal need to rotate substitutes in the second half of the season! Now there are only white, Gabriel and Holden left at centre-backs, and that's certainly not enough! The full-backs are only Cedric and Tavares...
Chambers certainly has limited ability, but when needed, he can play center-back, right-back and even midfield, such a local player is not easy to find, do not know what Arteta plans.
If there is a financial return, in fact, although Arsenal officially said that "the transfer fee is not disclosed" (implying that there is a fee), but the German transfer market shows that this is actually a free transfer, take 10,000 steps back, even if there is a transfer fee, there can be a 2 million on the sky, why should the club... If it is a free transfer, then why not wait until the summer to send someone, but in the winter?
Maybe Arsenal will have a reinforcement of the back line in the last few days, but the last sentence of the original text at least shows that the CWS is not clear who will come...
Let's take a look at the transfer message.
It's official: Arsenal have announced the signing of 17-year-old left-back Lino Sousa from West Brom, the first professional contract Sousa signed.
Sosa has already made appearances for England U15 and U16, and he made his debut for West Brom U18 at the age of 15, and the youngster then made his debut in the Premier League reserves for the bloomers at the age of 16.
In the future, Sosa will still be eligible to play internationally for Portugal and Brazil, and everyone at Arsenal welcomes him and congratulates him on signing his first professional contract.
Before the CWY of London football, there was a report, and sure enough, it was officially announced, in fact, he has been training in the youth team for a while.
This guy has a high evaluation, but it is not a combat strength, and I hope that he can break out of the cocoon in the future!
The Telegraph reporter LE news that the negotiations between Newcastle and Arsenal on Nkedia are going well and the hope is that the striker will travel to Newcastle at the weekend to complete the transfer.
It is entirely possible that, given Arsenal's decision to let Chambers go, it seems that Nkay could also leave the squad.
However, Enkai should have sold it long ago, if he renewed his contract, he did not renew his contract, why he wanted to stay until now is really a mystery...
But if enkay is let go, it is dangerous not to buy a striker in January, Barlogon has been loaned out, Aubameyang has been idle and may leave the team, and only Lacazette has lasted half a season, is that not a joke...
The Athletic correspondent DO posted that Arsenal had received offers from Juve and Barca on loan for Aubameyang until the end of the season.
Alcilar has already offered Aubameyang a loan and selective buyout, but the offer is clearly more attractive to Arsenal than to the player himself, and for now the striker still wants to stay at the highest level.
Do said Barca and Juve had submitted loan offers, though it was unclear arsenal's decision and negotiations were ongoing, with the conversation focusing on who would bear the Gabonese's £350,000 weekly salary, and arsenal could also ask for a longer loan period.
In addition, Aubameyang's future may depend on Morata's situation, if Morata stays at Juve, then Barca will be his most likely next stop; conversely, if Morata joins Barca, then Juve will step up their pursuit of Arsenal forwards.
Of course, Aubameyang's future also depends on whether Arsenal can sign a new striker before the transfer window closes.
Sky Sports also has a report, after reading it together said.
Juve and Barca have both approached Arsenal on loan with Aubameyang, and negotiations are currently underway.
There is no offer yet, and given Aubameyang's £350,000 weekly salary, the deal will be difficult to finalize, arsenal are open to allowing Aubameyang to leave, although the deal must be financially acceptable.
Sky Sports said that Marseille, Sevilla, Paris and Milan have all shown interest in Aubameyang, while Saudi Arabia's Al Nasr and Al Hilal have submitted loan and mandatory buyout offers, but it is reported that the players themselves prefer to join a European team after the transfer.
So it's safe to say that both Juve and Barca want to go on loan for Aubameyang, but Arsenal are still thinking about it.
It should be considered, because if Oba is released and there are no new strikers to join at the moment, who will Arteta use in the second half of the season...
However, the situation for Barca and Juve is also complicated, and Barca will have to purge Dembele to register a new striker, so the deal is not necessarily good.
Judging from Arteta's employment, almost anyone who falls out with him will be cleaned up and will not get a chance again, such as the top 10 (by the way, the 10 has been quite efficient in Fenerbahce this season, 7 goals and 2 assists in 19 league games, 1 goal in 2 Europa League games) and Gundoz, now Aubameyang, but the problem is that you have to bring in a replacement!
If Auba stays in the squad and no new striker comes along, I think we'll have to consider using him in the second half of the season, even if it's a rotation, because there's no other option.
William Salibba was interviewed recently and spoke about his future.
Salibba said: "Before I joined Arsenal, I said to myself that I would play there, I was sure at the time, I was even curious about who I was going to be with. Then I joined, I played in 0 games and I could only play for Arsenal u23 and it was a resounding slap in the face!
future? The only thing I can tell you is that I am happy in Marseille and it is positive. I love the city, this club and the fans here, this team... Everything is going well, but I don't know what will happen in 6 months. ”
It is an open-ended answer, which means that he will evaluate his options according to Arsenal's plan after the end of the loan.
That makes sense, and if Arsenal still doesn't give him a chance, it's no wonder people want to leave.
Speaking of which, there is actually one person close to joining Arsenal, but the goalkeeper...
Romano tweeted: Matt Turner's deal to join Arsenal from the New England Revolution can be confirmed. The €7 million plus 3 million floating transfer is fully agreed upon, and it's time to process the paperwork.
Turner will join Arsenal in the summer, not January, and he will be preparing for next season. The U.S. coach also confirmed the deal.
In addition, it is reported that Turner's transaction also contains a 10% next transfer sharing clause.
Romano has since tweeted that Matt Turner's deal with Arsenal is largely complete, though Leno will leave the Gunners in the summer.
For now, Turner is Arsenal's man, but he will join in the summer and Leno will leave in the summer.
Turner's deal is worth 10 million euros, counting Ramsdale's £35 million, and Arsenal have invested more than 40 million in the goalkeeper alone in the last year... Look at how much money Leno can exchange for back, it is estimated that it will not be much, and his contract expires next year.
Goal journalist CWS also said Arsenal signed Matt Turner to a deal, but the goalkeeper will join in the summer, not now.
In addition, after helping the United States to a 1-0 victory over El Salvador and completing a clean sheet, Turner was photographed signing an Arsenal shirt, and Turner told fans when signing that "I don't know how many numbers I will wear at Arsenal." ”
In short, this deal will be officially announced, and he will act as a substitute for Ramsdale. Objectively speaking, it is normal, Ramsdale and Leno both want to play the main force, and Leno will of course have to buy a substitute goalkeeper after leaving.
Romano spoke about isaac's connection with Arsenal on the Here We Go Podcast: "Arsenal love Isaac, they really love this guy, and for Arsenal, on the level of appreciation, Isaac and Vlahović are the same.
But it will be very difficult to sign Isaac in January, and Real Sociedad hopes to keep the striker until the end of the season. As for Jovic, Arsenal have indeed been offered a loan spell with Jovic, but for both players and Arsenal at the moment, brokering a deal is not a priority. ”
Isaac is having a hard time at the moment, Real Sociedad is adamant about liquidated damages, Arsenal can't pay liquidated damages, close to that figure is impossible.
In Jovic's words, after Benzema was injured, it was basically difficult for him to leave the team, and Real Madrid had to think about himself.
ESPN reporter JO posted that Arsenal were disappointed by the progress of the forward reinforcements, a team that is racing against time to try to sign a new striker before Monday's transfer window closes.
Arsenal had previously been closely associated with Vlahović, but reports said the gunmen's top brass now believed that Vlahović's camp had used them in the negotiations, opening talks with Juve for smoke bombs.
Ideally, Arteta would like to sign a new striker this month, but there are growing concerns in North London that they won't be able to sign their priority in January unless Arsenal are willing to pay a lot of money: in the case of Isaac, ESPN said the Gunners were told that only a €90 million penalty would take the new star away; as for Jonathan David, Lille wants to wait until the summer to decide the future of the striker, and another Premier League team has also shown interest in David. A price war seems inevitable.
Everton's Lewin, Napoli's Osmayne and Villa's Watkins are also targets, but convincing their home team to sell in the winter will be very difficult.
Of course, Arsenal also have short-term alternative goals, such as rumors that Arteta's side intends to loan Jovic, but the rumor of a free signing Diego Costa has been denied by Arsenal.
Jo finally said that from the club's internal point of view, it will be Arsenal's last resort to reconcile with Aubameyang and get by until the summer, but if they can't bring in a new striker before the beginning of next week, Aubameyang will automatically get a "suspended sentence", and Lacazette has not yet been offered a new contract by Arsenal.
Anyway, there are less than three days left, and Arsenal are on their own.
At present, there is still no progress in reinforcements, both forwards and midfielders, but I personally still think there will be reinforcements, otherwise it is really illogical, is this season's good situation so abandoned? And it really doesn't take so many people away?
Wait for the last few days for surprises!
