Arsenal disappointed with loanee starts
According to Football insider sources with the Arsenal camp said: “The Arsenal staff are disappointed that Jenko has not been a regular starter over the last month or so, obviously, we want him to develop and the best way for that is for him to be getting as much game time as possible.”
Jenkinson, 23, has started 12 of West Ham’s 19 Premier League matches this season but only one since 29th November, and that was at left-back as cover for the injured Aaron Cresswell in last weekend’s 2-1 win over Southampton.
Jenks thought to have agreed a new five year deal with Arsenal increasing his wages from £32,000 to £45,000 per week before he joined Hammers for a second loan spell. West Ham are thought to be covering that extra £13,000 per week rise given by Arsenal together with a £1.5m loan fee. His wages are thought to be £2.25m for his 50 week loan but a loan fee bumps that figure up to £3.75m.
