Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of Calum Chambers from Arsenal.

The versatile defender, who can operate at both centre-back and right-back, has agreed a three-and-a-half-year deal.

Chambers graduated into the first team from the academy at Southampton before earning a move to Arsenal in 2014. He has also enjoyed loan stints at Middlesbrough and Fulham.

Capped by England, the 27-year-old has made five appearances for the Gunners this season.

Welcome, Calum!
