The Football Association have charged Arsenal for allegedly breaching football agents regulations over the transfer of Calum Chambers from Southampton last summer.The FA have been investigating the England defender's £15m move to the Emirates Stadium in July 2014.
Chambers' agent Alan Middleton has also been charged for allegedly breaching the FA's Football Agents Regulations and has until June 17 to respond.
News of the investigation earlier this year came as a surprise since the negotiations were amicable and neither club took issue with any aspect of the move. It is believed a disgruntled third party made the original complaint to the FA.
The FA have decided to take action and released a statement on Friday saying: 'Arsenal have been charged for allegedly breaching The FA's Football Agents Regulations.
'The charge is in relation to the transfer of Calum Chambers from Southampton to Arsenal on 26 July 2014.
'Authorised agent Alan Middleton has also been charged for allegedly breaching The FA’s Football Agents Regulations in relation to the same transfer.
'Mr Middleton has until 17 June 2015 to respond to the charge.
'Arsenal have until 26 June 2015 after they requested more time to respond to the charge.'
Arsenal issued a brief statement in response.'We have acted in good faith throughout with regard to this transfer,' the statement read.
'We are considering our position and will make appropriate representations to the FA.'
