Calum Chambers: Why I’m so grateful to Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger

Calum Chambers has thanked Arsene Wenger for the faith he has shown in him since his transfer to Arsenal from Southampton last summer.

The 20-year-old has netted one goal and made one assist in 23 Premier League games for the Gunners so far this term.
