Chambers, 19, has had a lightning past months at Arsenal after moving from Southampton for £16 million in the summer, featuring heavily on many occasions for the Gunners in both the Premier League and Champions League.
The former Saints man made his full debut for England last night in the Three Lions’ comfortable 5-0 win over San Marino at Wembley.
And Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana, who played alongside Chambers at Southampton, has said he is not surprised by Chambers’ rise to stardrom.
“I knew it was a matter of time before he possibly moved on or went to a big, big club,” Lallana said.
“It hasn’t surprised me at all how quickly and how well he’s started.
“I was watching the Champions League qualification games and he took to them like a duck to water.
“He was brilliant, showed great composure and he can play centre-half as well.
“He is a very talented boy and it’s a great thing for England.”
