Calum Chambers is happy to battle new Arsenal teammate David Luiz for a starting place.

The defender started the opening game of the campaign last weekend as the Gunners won 1-0 at Newcastle.

“He seems like a great guy. He is a great player, too," said Chambers. “Competition will bring the best out of people. At a club like Arsenal, that is how it should be."

When Chambers went to Fulham, some questioned whether he would be seen in an Arsenal shirt again.

“It was always my aim to come back," he said. “I went into the loan spell and was fully focused on giving everything for that club in every game and training session. I didn't think about the future, but before I went the plan was to go, gain experience, and come back."
