Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino is delighted with Calum Chambers' new contract.

Pochettino was present as Chambers finalised his new contract.

He told the Saints website: "I'm delighted to see another young player commit their future to the Club.

"Calum has shown in his performances in pre-season that he is more than capable of performing at this level, and we hope that this commitment allows him to push on and thrive within the First Team environment.

"He settled into the group nicely during our training camp, demonstrating his maturity off the pitch as well as his quality and potential on it while playing against a good standard of opposition.

"From the beginning of my time at Southampton, Nicola [Cortese, Executive Chairman] spoke to me of his project of bringing young talented players through the Academy and into the First Team, and that was something that really appealed to me.

"To now see Calum - along with many others - make that step up pays great testament to the hard work that goes on here that is driven from the very top."
