Arsenal are expected to confirm the signing of Southampton defender Calum Chambers for a fee of about £16m on Monday.

The England Under-19 international will join the Gunners’ Austria training camp after he underwent a medical on Friday.
Chambers, 19, has made 25 senior appearances for the Saints and Arsenal see him as an option at right-back, centre-back or in a more advanced role.

Arsenal have also enquired about Saints midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin, 24.

Chambers would become Arsenal’s fourth summer signing following the arrivals of Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez, Newcastle right-back Mathieu Debuchy and Nice goalkeeper David Ospina.

Manager Arsene Wenger is still in the market for a holding midfielder and another defender – if captain Thomas Vermaelen leaves the club.

Chambers would be the latest player to leave St Mary’s this summer following the departures of Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana to Liverpool and Luke Shaw to Manchester United.
