Calum Chambers’ move to Aston Villa from Arsenal came as a surprise to many when it was announced on Thursday night.
The defender has been at the Gunners since 2014, but having fallen out of favour under Mikel Arteta, he has opted to leave the Emirates Stadium in search of more game time.
It is a deal that appears to have developed quickly, with little sign that Chambers was close to departing the Gunners in the days and weeks leading up to the announcement.
