Cardiff close to signing Aston Villa's Chambers

Cardiff City are closing in on the signing of Aston Villa defender Calum Chambers.

England international Chambers has a year to run on his Villa contract but will be allowed to leave the Premier League club.

The 29-year-old former Arsenal player is expected to sign a permanent deal with Championship Cardiff.

He made only five top-flight appearances last season, also featuring three times in the Europa Conference League.

Chambers, who can play in central defence or at right-back, has made 36 appearances in total since joining Villa in January 2022, a move which ended an eight-year association with Arsenal.
