According to journalist Alan Nixon reporting on his Patreon, Portsmouth have moved ahead of Blackburn Rovers in their pursuit of Liverpool left-back Luke Chambers. Blackburn had been confident of signing Chambers and had been hoping to complete a deal. Nixon reports that Portsmouth think they have the best chance of signing the defender. Liverpool have been told that a decision will be made shortly over where the 22-year-old will be going. Chambers has been training with the Liverpool first-team squad but has not been given a shirt number for the 2026-27 season, which suggests that the club are ready to let the defender leave. The left-back has been sought by a number of EFL clubs, and Queens Park Rangers had also been linked with him earlier in the summer, though their interest has since lessened.

Blackburn Rovers' head coach is said to prefer a transfer for Liverpool’s Luke Chambers instead of Will Ferry, and the club has to decide between the two players. Chambers, who has previously been on loan at Kilmarnock, Wigan Athletic and Charlton Athletic, could be seen as a cheaper and more shrewd alternative.

Alan Nixon reports that Blackburn Rovers are attempting to sign Liverpool's 22-year-old left-back, Luke Chambers, on a temporary deal for the 2026-27 season. Chambers recently made 18 second-tier appearances during a loan at Charlton Athletic and has also been featured in Liverpool's pre-season tour of the USA with new manager Andoni Iraola. Chambers may be permitted to leave on another loan, as the Premier League season begins in just over two weeks. Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray is looking to complete the deal, though potential competition from other clubs could affect their plans.
