Born in Preston, 20-year-old defender Luke Chambers was brought up in Liverpool’s academy from the age of six.
The young left-back, who is expected to be the successor to Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas, spent six months of last season training with Wigan Athletic.
Immediately after joining the club, he became a regular and made 18 appearances, scoring one goal and providing three assists.
He is currently taking part in pre-season at Liverpool this summer, but with the likes of Robertson, Tsimikas and Joe Gomez forming a thick wall, he is finding it difficult to secure playing time at Anfield.
According to Daily Mail reporter Lewis Steele, the 20-year-old left-back is close to joining Wigan again, with a deal likely to be a one-year loan move.
However, the report also states that he could be re-loaned to a higher league, such as the Championship, next January after six months of performance.
“Luke Chambers close to re-joining League One Wigan on loan. Some Championship clubs were keen but a return to the Latics seen as best for his development. He will feature in Liverpool’s pre-season tour before joining.”
“He joins Calvin Ramsay in joining Wigan on loan from the Reds. Believe the loan agreement will be reviewed in January. If he outperforms League One level, Chambers could be recalled and sent to a higher standard.”
