The Arsenal ace has been linked with Newcastle United and Brighton and Hove Albion, but the bookies believe Crystal Palace are leading the race to sign him.
Popular bookmakers SkyBET have installed the Eagles as surprise favourites in the race to sign Gunners full-back Carl Jenkinson.
The 25-year-old defender has never really established himself as a first-team regular during his time at the Emirates, and has actually made more appearances for West Ham than he has Arsenal, during two separate loan spells in east London.

The former Charlton Athletic man still has a lot to offer at the highest level, however, and he would represent a superb signing for a mid-tier Premier League club.
SkyBET believe that the energetic right-back could very well be plying his trade away from north London this season, listing Palace as 3/1 favourites to sign him, ahead of Newcastle at 5/1 and Brighton and Hove Albion at 8’s.
Frank de Boer will surely still be weighing up the strengths and weaknesses of his squad at Selhurst Park, but right-back will surely be one area in particular where the Dutchman would like to bolster.
And if he manages to bring Jenkinson to the club this summer, it could turn out to be a real coup for Palace.
