Manchester United's hopes of signing Thomas Vermaelen from Arsenal were given a boost last night after new signing Calum Chambers was spotted wearing the Belgian's number five shirt in training.
Chambers joined the Gunners from Southampton last week and was handed the number 21 shirt.
But on the club's pre-season trip to Austria Chambers donned Vermaelen's kit number in training.
Vermaelen has stayed behind in London for treatment on a hamstring injury and it is unclear why Chambers was allowed to wear the number five.
But it could be that talk of a move to United for Vermaelen is heating up.

Louis Van Gaal is thought to be keen to bring Vermaelen to Old Trafford this summer as he looks to replace Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.
It is thought that Arsenal may have asked for players in exchange for the former Ajax man, with Portuguese winger Nani the latest to be linked.
And that could see Chambers wearing the number five shirt on a more regular basis at the Emirates.
