The arrival of Rob Holding and Shkodran Mustafi has resulted in the Englishman falling down the pecking order.

Calum Chambers’ chances of breaking into the Arsenal starting eleven appear as gloomy as – if not worse than – last season despite the injuries to captain Per Mertesacker and Gabriel Paulista.

The inevitable arrival of Shkodran Mustafi plus that of promising young center-back Rob Holding has seen the former Southampton defender fall further down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium.

However, instead of rotting on the bench like last term, Wenger is keen to offload the Englishman on loan. In come reports claiming that newly-promoted Middlesbrough have struck a deal with the Gunners for Chambers.

This is according to a report by Sky Sports which claims Calum will move to the Riverside Stadium on a season-long, experience-gaining loan.

Calum Chambers, Arsenal, Middlesbrough, Deadline Day, English Premier League

According to the Sun, the Boro beat out competition from Hull, Stoke, West Ham and Roma in order to land the defender, as Aitor Karanka’s crew look to continue their bright start to life back in the English Premier League.

It’s unclear whether Middlesbrough will wrap up their transfer activity, but it has been eventful summer for them, having signed Alvaro Negredo (on loan), Antonio Barragan, Bernardo Espinosa, Viktor Fischer, Brad Guzan,Marten de Roon, Fabio and Victor Valdes.

Le Prof will be hoping that the 21-year-old who can play as a full-back and defensive midfielder gains priceless first-team action.
