West Ham United are apparently keen on Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson.
According to a report in the Daily Star, West Ham United could make a third move to sign Arsenal’s Carl Jenkinson.
West Ham have twice before signed Jenkinson on loan from the Gunners, but opted against making a permanent move last summer after the right-back picked up an injury.
However, now Jenkinson is back fit, West Ham apparently are interested in making another bid for the 24-year-old.
West Ham have been short of options at right-back this season, with injuries pilling up.
Sam Byram has spent time on the sidelines, and Michail Antonio has often had to fill in on the right-hand side of the defence.
Although West Ham have brought in Alvaro Arbeloa, Slaven Bilic reportedly still wants to strengthen in the right-back spot.
Jenkinson looks unlikely to break into Arsenal’s first-team ahead of Hector Bellerin, and West Ham are, therefore, optimistic of completing a deal for the England international in the near future.
