Steve Bruce: 'Carl Jenkinson destined for West Ham United'

Hull City boss Steve Bruce claims that West Ham United are in pole position to sign Carl Jenkinson from Arsenal.

Hull City manager Steve Bruce has hinted that West Ham United are the favourties to sign Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson.

The 22-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium, with Hull, West Ham and Swansea City all interested in signing the right-back.

Bruce has confirmed that the Tigers launched a £3m bid, but he believes that Jenkinson will remain in London.

"There are about five or six clubs who would be interested in Carl Jenkinson," the Hull boss told talkSPORT.

"He's a very good player. We did show an interest in him. West Ham manager Sam [Allardyce] is in the box seat though because they are in London.

"When a really good young player comes out of Arsenal, or one of the big clubs, then the likes of Hull will always be looking at them. He's got the choice of five or six clubs. From what I understand Carl wants to stay in London."

Arsenal are willing to let Jenkinson go out on loan after signing Mathieu Debuchy and Calum Chambers this summer.
