Arsenal defender Calum Chambers is expected to join Middlesbrough on a season-long loan, Sky sources understand.

A deal has yet to be signed but Boro are understood to be favourites to sign him, despite an offer from another Premier League club.

Personal terms have still to be agreed, with two days to go before the 11pm deadline on Wednesday night.

The 21-year-old joined the Gunners from Southampton for £16m in July 2014 and has played 59 times for Arsene Wenger's side.

Boro have performed well on their return to the Premier League, winning one and drawing two of their three matches to date, including a goalless draw at West Brom on Sunday.
