# Calum Chambers to decide future in next 48 hours

Arsenal defender and West Ham target Calum Chambers will decide on his future in the next 48 hours, according to the [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/transfer-news-live-arsenal-liverpool-8700575).

The three-time England international has been made available on a season-long loan according to Gunners boss Arsene Wenger with [Arsenal](https://readarsenal.com/) closing in on the £35m signing of German international centre-back Shkodran Mustafi.

[Premier League](https://readpl.com/) sides West Ham, Stoke, Middlesbrough and Hull City have all made contact over signing Chambers, while there is wider interest from across Europe.

[La Liga](https://readlaliga.com/) clubs [Valencia](https://readlaliga.com/) and Espanyol are keeping tabs on the situation while Serie A outfits AC Milan and Roma are also keen.

A £16m signing from [Southampton](https://readsouthampton.com/) in 2014, Chambers sees his long-term future at centre-back and wants to play regular football this season to aid his development.

West Ham are expected to send Reece Burke out on loan in the next few days, who has been filling in as a versatile defender lately, and should he leave the club the Hammers are eager to bring in a defender on loan to fill the void.

Given Chambers’ ability to play right-back and centre-back, he could provide competition for Sam Byram and right-back as well as the first-team centre-backs, much like James Tomkins did before he left.
