Everton to make shock move for Arsenal star if John Stones joins Chelsea or Man Utd
EVERTON have set their sights on Arsenal's Calum Chambers, according to reports.
Everton want Arsenal defender Calum Chambers
The right-back, who can also play as a centre-half, has struggled for game time this term and has featured in less than half of Arsenal's matches.
Hector Bellerin and Mathieu Debuchy have both been favoured on the right-hand side, with Per Mertesacker, Gabriel Paulista and Laurent Koscienly preferred through the middle.
And according to the Daily Mirror, Everton boss Roberto Martinez is looking to offer the 20-year-old a way out of Arsenal in January.
The Toffees reportedly consider the former Southampton ace as the ideal replacement should they lose John Stones - a target for Chelsea and Manchester United.
The Blues are believed to be still keen on the 21-year-old after haing four bids rejected in the summer, while United are understood to be lining up a £50million bid.

But it's unlikely the Merseyside club will decide to sell Stones after Martinez revealed he has no intention of selling his top players.
“None of our best players will be leaving in January,” he said. “We are not in a position where we have to make financial decisions and our only concern is about developing the best we can."
