Emi Martinez sends four-word message to Chambers as he swaps Arsenal for Aston Villa
Aston Villa s🌱hocked Arsenal fans yesterday by agreeing a deal to sign Calum Cha𓂃mbers on a permanent deal.
That really did come out of nowhere last night.
Chambers only had six months left on his contract at Arsenal and he wasn’t in Mikel Arteta’s plans. However,✤ fans believed that his versatility would convince the club to keep him around at least until the end of this season.
Steven Gerrard, who has been really ambitious in this window, spotted an opportunity and took it, ✱and Chambers has joined his good pal Emi Martinez at Villa now.

Chambers is not the first player to leave Arsenal and ✃join Aston Villa. Martinez did the same not too long ago and some Arse🍬nal fans are irked about that even to this day.
The💃 Argentine has been phenomenal since he joined the club and if Chambers can have anywhere near as good an impact as the goalkeeper, he will end up being a fine signing for the Villans.
🅷Martinez, who🅺 knows Chambers very well thanks to their time together at Arsenal, took to Instagram last night to welcome the Englishman to Villa.
“Welcome to Villa bro,” he wrote followed by a coꦦuple of fire and heart emojis.
Bad decision?
Chambers is a fantastic signing for Villa. He can play at right-back, centre-half and also in midfield and he has a ton of Premier League experienc꧟e under his belt. He will be a fin⛦e player under Steven Gerrard, but are Arsenal right to let him go?
Yes, Chambers has barely played this season and he was unlikely get any game time even if he had stayed. However, Arsenal, who haven’t signed a play🦩er in this window yet, could leave themselves extremely short now.
The Gunners only have Ben White, Gabriel Magalhaes and Rob Holding ꧂in central defence, while right-backs Takehiro Tomiyasu and Cedric Soares have both struggled with fitness issues.
Arsenal could be exposed if injuries or suspension hꦐit their defence, which makes you question Arteta and Edu’s decision to let a player as useful as Chambers leave.
