​Wenger excited by versatile Chambers

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has praised defender Calum Chambers for his versatility and ability to play multiple roles for the Gunners.

The 20-year-old has been on the fringes of the first-team action this season, but he will start in the Tuesday's League Cup tie against Sheffield Wednesday.

"Calum can play in midfield, he can play central defender. I think in the future he will certainly be a central defender, but he can also play right back," Wenger said in his pre-match press conference.

"That versatility will help him in the future because he will tactically know more about the game, he will be technically better prepared and physically he will be at the top, top level. I'm confident that Calum will be a successful England player."
