Chambers has what it takes to become one of the best
players in his position.
Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker believes Calum Chambers is
destined to become one of the best defenders in the game if he
can keep up his level of development.
Chambers, 20, joined Arsenal from Southampton in July 2014
and has since become a respected first-team member at the
Emirates Stadium.
The centre-back has yet to become an undisputed starter under
Arsene Wenger, but Mertesacker believes it is only a matter of
time before Chambers takes the next step in his career.
"He's a good guy and we challenge each other every single day
in training," the German defender told Arsenal Player.
"That’s what it's all about. He's eager to learn, he really fancies
challenging every single centre-back and that’s something you
need. When you step up as a young talent, you need to
challenge the old lads.
"It's really good to have him so that we can improve. You never
stop working, you never stop doing things because there’s
someone behind you - in a respectful way - who is giving
absolutely everything in every single training session.
"That's what my feeling is. When he does that, he's got a great
chance to develop as one of the top centre-backs."
