Chambers recently completed a £16m move to Arsenal despite making just 22 Premier League appearances for former club Southampton.

The 19-year-old is primarily a right-back but Gunners boss Arsene Wenger reckons he can perform at centre-back and in midfield despite his tender years.

He was thrown into the heart of the defence for the Emirates Cup and impressed enough to be in contention to start there for the opening match of the Premier League season.

Oxlade-Chamberlain made the same switch in 2011 and has taken Chambers under his wing in a bid to help him adapt to the club and fulfil his potential.

“I'm just trying to take Calum under my wing and show him the ropes,” he told www.arsenal.com.

“He's a really good lad and everyone really likes him - the boys really want to go out of their way to help him bed in.

“We saw him play for Arsenal for the first time at the Emirates Cup and I thought he was superb for a 19-year-old playing centre back, against really good players. I thought he looked very assured and he's going to be a great talent for the club.

“It's really good to see him here. It's almost weird because I can remember being in his position a few years ago - coming from Southampton to a big club like Arsenal - even though Southampton is a big club.

“But to come to a team like Arsenal, he's playing with players like Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez. When you move to a team like Arsenal it's very surprising to start off with, but he has settled in really quickly and all the boys love him.

“He's already trying to look after me, he's on the pitch trying to tell me to switch on and that's a really good sign because it shows he's feeling confident and comfortable and that's what we like to see.”
