Calum Chambers: Leicester have two bids for Arsenal defender rejected
Last updated on .From the section Football
Leicester City have had two bids in the region of £20m rejected for Arsenal defender Calum Chambers.
The bids were made on Wednesday evening and fell short of the £27m that Crystal Palace were quoted for the England international earlier this summer.
Arsenal had been happy for Chambers to leave after telling him they could not guarantee him a place at centre-back.
But their stance changed a month ago when Arsene Wenger decided he wanted to keep the 22-year-old.
Chambers joined Arsenal in 2014, but spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough as the Teessiders were relegated from the Premier League.

Wenger got lucky, effectively taking over Grahams defence.
Sack the board & Wenger. USMANOV IN
Yes, they need a mass clear out to freshen the squad up & to remove the sulkers, but I remember when Arsenal lost players to big bids, not wanting to walk out like this.
The buck stops with Wenger. He signed everyone & he can't keep them happy. As much as I respect Wenger, something is clearly up.
