With Robert Huth and Wes Morgan coming to their last years in football, Leicester are in the market for a young, talented centre back. They have already signed Harry Maguire from relegated Hull City in this summer but they are also interested in Arsenal’s Chambers.
Chambers joined Arsenal in 2014 for £20 million, after coming through the ranks at Southampton and he has played 59 games for The Gunners, getting three goals and the same amount of assists.
He spent last year on loan to Middlesbrough, where he made 26 appearances in the side which did get relegated, however, he impressed a lot in their defence as it was their attack which let them down last campaign.
Palace were interested in signing Chambers earlier this window, but Arsenal rejected the bids for the Englishman as they were asking for £27 million, meaning the South London side did not go through with negotiations.
