Arsenal defender Chambers happy to commit to U21s despite senior caps

Arsenal fullback Calum Chambers says he's happy to play for England U21.

Chambers is already capped at senior level.

But he says, "There is a smooth pathway between the Under-21s and the seniors. There was an opportunity for me to play here so I jumped at it.

"When I was asked to play for the U-21s of course I was going to come and play. Players should want to play for their country at any level. I've played for the senior team a few times but that would never make me want to stop playing for the U-21s. It's an honour you should never turn down.

"The lads here are great and there is a brilliant atmosphere. As the new boy, I was feeling nervous. I didn't want to come in and upset the group. But I didn't need to worry. The lads made me feel really welcome."
