Arsenal will make a move for Southampton teenager Calum Chambers after scouting him twice for England Under-19s, write Neil Moxley and Tom Hopkinson in the Sunday People.

The Londoners have monitored the right-back since he broke into the Saints' first team on the opening day of the last campaign in a win at West Brom.

And now they are primed to pounce to secure his services after sending representatives to watch him during recent Euro Championship qualifiers against Scotland and Ukraine.

Chambers, 19, has emerged as a leading candidate to take over from Bacary Sagna, who has opted to join Manchester City on a Bosman.

He signed a four-year deal last summer so the fee will be substantial but not in the same league as the £27million being paid by Manchester United for Luke Shaw.

Arsene Wenger views Chambers as quality competition for Carl Jenkinson.

The Emirates boss is in line for a tidy little windfall from Cesc Fabregas’ £32m transfer to Chelsea.

Arsenal are due a £1.5m sell-on payment from Barcelona, who lured the Spanish star home for £30m three years ago.

The Blues hope to confirm Fabregas’ signing on a four-year contract in the next 48 hours after the Gunners indicated they did not want to sign the midfielder for a second time.
