Chambers drops Arsenal exit hint: Consistency is vital for a young player

defender Calum Chambers says he needs to be playing consistently next season.

The 22-year old started 25 Premier League matches whilst on loan with Middlesbrough last season

Speaking before England U21's Euro semi-final clash with Germany, Chambers hinted that an exit from Arsenal might be necessary if his match time isn't guaranteed.

"I had a thoroughly enjoyable year there [Middlesbrough]; I played regularly and got some valuable experiences that I'm gaining from.

"In this tournament I feel the experiences I got this year and the game time I got this year are helping me and I want to take that forward.

"Next season I want to do the same. I want to play football, and I think it's vital at this age – as a young player – to play as many games as possible to get experience."

Southampton, Everton and Newcastle have all reportedly shown interest in Chambers.
