The teenage right-back will battle fellow new signing Mathieu Debuchy for first team action looks set to become the club’s third summer signing.

Southampton have already seen Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert follow manager Mauricio Pochettino to a St Mary’s exit and Dejan Lovren looks set to continue the exodus with a £20m move to Liverpool set to be completed.

Chambers broke into the Saints first team set-up in August 2012 and has made 24 appearances for the south-coast side and follows the likes of Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in completing a move from Southampton to Arsenal.

The move would bring Arsenal’s spending this summer to over £50m with Wenger forking out around £35m for Barcelona’s Alexis Sanchez and £11m for Newcastle United right-back Debuchy.
