Wigan Athletic are reportedly interested in re-signing Liverpool defender Luke Chambers on loan. The 22-year-old left-back has attracted attention after strong pre-season performances, including a goal in a 4-2 defeat to Leeds United.
What happened in pre-season?
Chambers started Liverpool's final two US tour matches against Wrexham and Leeds, playing out of position at centre-back. His standout display earned praise from new manager Andoni Iraola, who noted his adaptability despite not being a natural centre-back.
Why Wigan Athletic are interested
The Latics previously loaned Chambers during the 2023/24 season, where he made 15 appearances. With Wigan finishing 16th in League One last season (56 points, 14W-14D-18L), they may seek defensive reinforcements. Chambers' versatility and Championship experience with Charlton Athletic make him an attractive option.
What comes next for the transfer?
Liverpool are expected to extend Chambers' contract before any loan move. Wigan face competition from Championship sides like QPR and an unnamed foreign club. A decision is likely later in the transfer window.
Chambers joined Liverpool at age six and made his debut in September 2023. He has three Europa League appearances and previously spent time on loan at Kilmarnock.
