Arsenal defender Calum Chambers has said that his first season at the club exceeded all his expectations.

The 20-year-old joined the Gunners last summer from Southampton and made 36 appearances in all competitions.

"In a short space of time I think I have grown massively," he told Arsenal's official website. "I have exceeded my expectations of what I thought I would achieve this season.

"I can only thank the coaches and the players for helping me do that and I just want to keep going, keep improving day by day to become the best player that I can be and be proud of myself.

"Playing for Arsenal is an achievement and so is playing in the Champions League and for England. I am really proud of myself and equally I want to go further and become the best player I can at Arsenal. I won't stop working until I get there."

Chambers is currently with the England squad at the European Under-21 Championship in the Czech Republic.
