If the Arsenal transfer rumours about the possible impending departure of the Arsenal and England international defender Calum Chambers from the Emirates are true then it could be that Arsene Wenger has already found a replacement for the former Saint in the shape of the 20-year old Bolton Wanderers centre back Rob Holding.
Perhaps not though, as even though the transfer of Holding is now official the Daily Star is reporting that the Gunners are involved in a transfer tussle for another central defender. The player in question is the young German star Matthias Ginter of Borussia Dortmund and the other club chasing his £10 million transfer is the Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg.
With a Daily Mail report suggesting that Arsenal might be looking for a replacement for Chambers who could be off to Premier League rivals Watford, Ginter seems like thew more likely replacement as he also has the versatility and ability to play at right back and central midfield as well as the centre of defence.
The 22-year old might actually be an upgrade on Chambers as he has been playing more regular football for Dortmund and the German national side than Chambers has for Arsenal and England. He also has two awards given to the best German player in the under 18 and under 19 age groups.
What do you make of these rumours?
