Chambers isn't far off Clyne and is more physical and almost 4 years younger. Kept him out for large parts of the season. Clyne hasn't been at his best due to injury but Chambers has been very impressive when he's played.
Not a player we need though. Right back is one area we are quite strong . Of course if/when Sagna leaves we need to sign a replacement but we should be looking at proven quality as Jenkinson is nowhere near ready.
We have Bellerin who is regarded as one of the brightest young fullbacks in world football, however again lacks top flight experience and needs to improve physically and tactically.
We have a young lad called Tafari Moore who has been an excellent season. Still only 16 but has featured regularly for the U18's this season. Been impressed myself, looks a much more rounded defender than what we usually produce.
Basically we are well stocked for the future in right backs however we need someone for the now. Piszczek/Coleman

Arsenal eye move for Southampton's Calum Chambers with continuing doubts over future of Bacary Sagna
Calum Chambers, the Southampton right-back, is among Arsenal’s list of summer transfer targets as Arsène Wenger accelerates his plans ahead of the possible departure of Bacary Sagna.
Although Arsenal are now ready to stretch to a new three-year deal for Sagna, who will be out of contract in June, the 31-year-old has made no decision on his future amid competing interest from Manchester City, Galatasaray and Paris St-Germain.
Arsenal scouts were already monitoring Chambers but have intensified their interest over recent weeks in a player who would further enhance the core of young British players in the squad.
At only 19, Chambers has graduated through the Southampton academy with left-back Luke Shaw, who is increasingly likely to be sold this summer to Manchester United or Chelsea for around £30 million.
Chambers is less experienced than Shaw but this has been his breakthrough season in senior football and he has played in 21 Premier League games for Southampton while also captaining the England Under-19 team.
