So far this summer has been a positive one for Arsenal. Unai Emery looks to have addressed the big issues with the current Arsenal squad. However, according to Sky Sports, Calum Chambers is set to move to Fulham on a season-long loan and the fans really aren’t best pleased.

Calum Chambers was signed for Arsenal from Southampton with a view to the Englishman being one of the club’s long-term defensive options. Most of the fans are keen to see Chambers get first team minutes and there’s a lot of positive feeling amongst the fans for the young centre-back options at the club with Rob Holding and Konstantinos Mavropanos also being a popular young player at The Emirates.
However, Emery obviously knows what he’s doing and his decision to see Chambers off to Fulham will come with it’s benefits. At Craven Cottage there is less pressure to perform as the expected standards are obviously lower than what they are at Arsenal. At Fulham Chambers will also be getting a lot more time in the starting eleven than he would have done with the Gunners, so whilst the fans may not be pleased, in the long run, this looks like a positive move.

Wish him all the best! I want him to have a great season there! Hope he will come back next season and take back his place.

This makes absolutely zero sense.

Disagree with this move! Had a good pre-season and played well when subbed on at right back for Hector against Chelsea. I think Holding should be the one going out on loan, hasn’t been the same since the FA cup victory in 2017. New centre half incoming?

The feeling isn’t good amongst the fans with this one and they’ll be keen to see a new defender brought in if Chambers loan move does go ahead.
