Irons working hard to bring Jenks back

West Ham chairman David Gold has confirmed West Ham are “working hard” to bring Carl Jenkinson back to the Boleyn Ground. The Arsenal and England Under-21 right-back enjoyed a successful spell on loan last season and the West Ham board is keen to agree another season long loan.

Gold was asked by the Alan Brazil breakfast “Can West Ham fans get excited dare I mention about a Charlie Austin or someone coming in?”

“Yes I think we are ever optimistic, we recognise this is an important season for us and being in Europe we will go the extra mile to ensure we have the strongest possible squad that we can muster.”

“We are very working hard to try and get Carl back here,” said Gold, speaking on Talksport radio.
