Multiple media: Free agent Chamberlain returned to his old club Arsenal to train, waiting to find a new home

Hupu November 03 According to the "Daily Mail" and many English media including Sky Sports, free agent Chamberlain is currently training with Arsenal while planning his next transfer. The former Liverpool and Southampton star spent six years at Arsenal and became a free agent this summer after negotiating a release from his contract with Besiktas.

It is reported that the 32-year-old Chamberlain is considering returning to English football, which will also allow him to get closer to his fiancée. Arsenal appear to be assisting the academy veteran by allowing him to maintain competitive fitness at their London Colney training ground.

The former international player, who represented England 35 times between 2012 and 2019, will mainly train with the U21 echelon while waiting for a new contract.

Chamberlain, who signed a three-year contract with Turkish Super League Besiktas in 2023, terminated the contract through negotiation between the two parties this summer. During his tenure, he played 50 times, contributing 5 goals and 1 assist. Although he won the Turkish Cup in the 2023-24 season, injuries and loss of position last season prompted him to leave the team. Besiktas paid him a termination fee of 1.75 million euros (approximately 1.58 million pounds).

There were reports in August that Birmingham City was interested in bringing him in, and Birmingham's ambitious boss hoped to persuade him to join St. Andrews Stadium. If Chamberlain returns to England, he will be reunited with his fiancée and son. Edwards revealed in 2024 that the two have been in love for nine years but have never been able to live together: "It has been harder to get together after he played in Turkey, but I am developing a personal music career and have to take care of a two-year-old child - although it is hard, it is worth everything for the people I love."
