Calum Chambers (Southampton)
A younger replacement for Bacary Sagna would be Southampton right back Callum Chambers.
The 19 year-old has not had quite the same attention as Luke Shaw on the opposite flank at Saints, thanks to a later first team breakthrough, but demonstrated enough in his 22 Premier League appearances to suggest he is a big prospect.
Chambers is a tall player for a full back at over 6′ (183cm), and wins his fair share of aerial battles – a strength of Sagna’s that Arsenal will need to replace.
Signing a teenager to replace the departing Sagna could result in Carl Jenkinson electing to leave Emirates Stadium though, for the Englishman may be disillusioned at the prospect of a relative rookie becoming his competition at right back instead of a more senior player he could learn from.
