Both Celtic and West Bromwich Albion are being credited with interest in the Arsenal right-back.

Carl Jenkinson of Arsenal looks on  during the Premier League 2 match between Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on April 15, 2019 in London, England.

Some Arsenal fans are urging their side to offer Carl Jenkinson to Celtic, amid reports the right-back is in talks to join West Bromwich Albion.

According to Sky Sports, Jenkinson is keen on becoming a West Brom player – a move that would see him reunited with his former West Ham United manager, Slaven Bilic.

But the broadcaster claims Celtic are also interested in the once-capped England international.

And that could prove convenient as Arsenal step up their interest in the Celtic left-back, Kieran Tierney, according to The Daily Mail.

The following Gunners fans certainly hope so…

Jenkinson has spent the past eight years at Arsenal, interrupted by loan spells at West Ham and Birmingham City.

But the 27-year-old has only played 70 times for the Gunners since then.

West Brom have seen right-backs Mason Holgate and Tyrone Mears depart since the end of last season, although Allan Nyom is returning from a loan spell at Leganes.

And Celtic are expected to lose three of theirs – Mikael Lusting, Cristian Gamboa and Jeremy Toljan.

West Brom, Celtic or neither? Where will Jenkinson start the season?
