Szczesny full of praise for Chambers

The former Southampton man has seen his Arsenal impact rewarded with an England call-up and Szczesny has spoken praise of the young defender.

The 19 year-old made his switch to the Gunners in July and his string of impressive performances for Arsene Wenger’s side have resulted in him being included in Roy Hodgson’s Euro 2016 set-up.

Chambers started both of England’s last two matches against San Marino and Estonia and Gunners team-mate Wojciech Szczesny has praised him in his maturity and mentality since joining the club.

He said: “It is a strange one because I would imagine that to be very successful at 19 you need to be massively confident, maybe overconfident at times,” he told the club’s official website.


“But Calum isn’t – he’s very humble, very quiet and he shows his confidence on the pitch. It is a massive quality because he looks very comfortable, whether you play him at right back or centre back.

“He is comfortable on the ball, he is comfortable defending and he is very strong as well. He has been a massive signing.

“The pressure was on him as well because he was 19, he came to a big club and he went straight into the starting XI but he has been coping very well.”
