West Ham United seal Carl Jenkinson loan

West Ham complete the loan signing of defender Carl Jenkinson from Arsenal.

West Ham United have completed the signing of Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson on a season-long loan.

Jenkinson's future at the Emirates Stadium was thrown into doubt this summer after manager Arsene Wenger signed right-backs Mathieu Debuchy and Calum Chambers.

The 22-year-old was linked with loan moves to Swansea City, Hull City and Sunderland, and the youngster admits that having so many options flattered him.

"I'm clearly seen as a big part of things here and hopefully I can prove my worth here because it is an important year for me," he told the Hammers' official website.

"I was flattered to have a lot of options but, deep down, if I was being honest with myself West Ham was always the place I wanted to go to.

"It's one of them where I wanted to do the right professional thing and consider all the options, but in the back of my mind it was always West Ham and I'm just so glad it's all worked out how I wanted it to in the end."

West Ham kick off their new Premier League campaign by hosting Tottenham Hotspur in a London derby on August 16.
