Calum Chambers is expected for a medical at Fulham on Monday after Arsenal agreed to let him move to Craven Cottage.
The 23-year-old defender agreed a new four-year contract in July and is expected to sign on a season’s loan.
Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic is in desperate need of experienced defenders as Alfie Mawson is not expected to be fully fit until September.
Chambers can cover a number of positions but Fulham still need another centre back.
They had made a bid to sign Yerry Mina on loan from Barcelona though he has spoken to other clubs including Everton and Manchester United.
The Premier League newcomers have signed six players so far in the summer transfer window, which closes on Thursday.
hambers made his first appearance for Arsenal on 2 August 2014, starting in central defence in a 5–1 win against Benfica in the pre-season Emirates Cup tournament. On 10 August, Chambers made his competitive debut for Arsenal, playing the full 90 minutes of the 2014 FA Community Shield against Premier League champions Manchester City at Wembley Stadium. Playing at centre back instead of his usual right back position to cover for Per Mertesacker, the BBC wrote on his performance against the Premier League champions that “his mature performance defied his youthful years”.
On 16 August, Chambers played his first Premier League match for Arsenal in a 2–1 win against Crystal Palace. He played the first European fixture of his career three days later, a goalless draw in the first leg of Arsenal’s Champions League play-off away to Beşiktaş.
Following a strong start to the season, Chambers was nominated for the Golden Boy Award 2014, alongside international teammates Raheem Sterling, Luke Shaw and John Stones. He scored the first senior goal of his career and registered an assist on 1 November as Arsenal beat Burnley 3–0 in a Premier League home victory. He was sent off for the first time in his career on 6 December, as Arsenal lost 3–2 at Stoke City.
Chambers’ appearances in the second half of the season were limited by the emergence of Héctor Bellerín at right-back. He was not in Arsenal’s matchday squad when they won the 2015 FA Cup Final 4–0 against Aston Villa at Wembley Stadium on 30 May.
Chambers began the 2016–17 Premier League in the starting lineup for Arsenal and scored in a 3–4 loss against Liverpool in the first match of the season
