#2 Calum Chambers impresses at RB

Is Calum Chambers good enough to keep Hector Bellerin out the team?
Is Calum Chambers good enough to keep Hector Bellerin out the team?

Ever since Hector Bellerín suffered a terrible knee injury last year, Arsenal have had a right-back crisis on their hands. Last season, the Gunners had to make do with Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Stephan Lichtsteiner, and Carl Jenkinson battling it out for the position. As hard as they all tried, none of them was good enough for a top-six club. This season, Calum Chambers has bundled his way into that position, finally benching the uncomfortable Maitland-Niles.

Chambers chance to displace Maitland-Niles came in the 3-2 win against Villa, a match in which Maitland-Niles was sent off, opening the door for Chambers. Since then, Chambers has scored one and assisted three in just four games at RB. Against the Cherries, the 24-year-old excelled again, winning four tackles, one interception, four clearances whilst completing 27 passes. Hector Bellerín is finally back to full fitness but at this rate, will he be able to displace Chambers?
