Carl Jenkinson has spoken of his “love of life at West Ham” but warns fans will need to wait until the end of the season before a decision is made on his long term future.

And Irons sources have confirmed the decision is entirely in Arsenal’s hands.

Jenkinson – commenting in Blowing Bubbles fan magazine – said: “We’ll see what happens at the end of the season,”

“I’m loving it here and will never say never, but I am not making any decisions right now.”

A Hammers source told us this morning that the matter rested entirely with the Gunners  saying: “”It’s great  he’s so happy but the decision really doesn’t belong to him – it’s all about what Arsenal decide.”

He added: “There’s no rules in these situations. We may ask or they may want to know if there’s any interest. That sort of process starts later on -not now.”
