Last updated on .From the section Fulham
Fulham have completed the signing of Arsenal defender Calum Chambers on a season-long loan deal.
Chambers, 23, is the seventh new arrival at Craven Cottage this summer following the London club's return to the Premier League.
"I watched a lot of Fulham last season, I really like the way they play football," said Chambers.
"There's a good manager, it's a great club, so I'm really excited for the season ahead."
Chambers played 12 Premier League games for Arsenal last season.
New Gunners manager Unai Emery said the England international has a bright future in the game.
"We all believe this loan at Fulham will be an important part of his development and wish him a successful season," said the Spaniard.
Fulham entertain Crystal Palace on Saturday (15:00 BST) in their first game back in the Premier League since 2013-14.
Chambers joins Germany World Cup winner Andre Schurrle, Swansea defender Alfie Mawson and forward Aleksandar Mitrovic from Newcastle to have moved to Fulham this summer.
Ivory Coast midfielder Jean Michael Seri, goalkeeper Fabri and Nice defender Maxime Le Marchand have also joined.

Getting Seriously excited our first season back in the Prem.
Chambers could and should be a staple in the Arsenal defence in the future, but he can't be guaranteed a decent run in the side.
Arsenal might be a tad light on the ground if they are left with only Mustafi, Sokratis, Holding, Mavropanos and the aging Koscielny.
Now just waiting for the liverpool fans to come and say “who cares about these teams this year is our year” and “Mourinho is such a moaner you would never see a Liverpool legend like Gerrard moaning at the referees...oh wait”
Rather than just repeating old cliches, you might want to look into things first. Just last Saturday we had 5 English players start against Lazio ( and beating them) , including Chambers. Let’s see how many other Premier sides field 5 Englishmen next weekend .
Fulham, like Arsenal, is a London club too! No need for Mr Chambers to move to the midlands!!
Think its a good move all round. Fulham get a player with good potential and Chambers gets to play for a season. It wasn't long ago that Chambers played for England. Not saying he'll play for England again but be good to see potential possibly realised
Torquay in Scotland???
Don’t they teach you anything in school! Couldn’t be much further away from Scotland! I would mention Michael Thomas for a laugh but I doubt you even know who that is!
You should take a simple geography test before posting such ludicrous nonsense.
Fulham is in West London not the Midlands.. even my cat knows this.
Have a really lovely day though.
Then in the comments I see a sad little guy who's created 2 accounts called steven gates and parityfourall and has had a conversation with himself between these 2 accounts to make the supposed 'Liverpool' account look stupid.
It's only preseason! Imagine the lengths the trolls will go to if we actually win something!
