Irons aim for new Jenkinson spell
The right back has had a brilliant season at Upton Park but Arsenal manager has made it clear the England under 21 is not for sale.
He has already spoken to the player and claims the only decision to be made is whether the player will go out on loan.
That is considered a certainty as Wenger knows he can’t afford to have unhappy players in his dressing room season and the Hammers are keen to sign him up to another campaign.
A source told ClaretandHugh: “We are certainly keen to keep him and that would probably be as a loan because he’s an Arsenal player so they hold all the cards.”
He confirmed that nether the widely touted Glen Johnson return or a move for Micah Richards was likely adding: “These seem to have been recycled from last summer.”
