The new Hammers boss is a fan of the Arsernal defender who is in limbo right now as he waits to discover what the Gunners intend to do with him next term.

Slav wants the right back position sorted quickly and is happy for the Irons negotiators to get to grips with the deal be it on a permanent basis or a loan.

Arsene Wenger said a few weeks ago that he didn’t want to sell Jenks and that the pair would need to talk about what was to happen next season.

We were told by a Hammers insider: “We need that position filled very quickly and the new manager likes Jenks . The club is doing its best to sort something out and are aware that he went back to the Emirates at the end of the season a better player than when he arrived here.

“Like every player his game improved with regular first team football and it’s unlikely he or Arsene Wenger will want him sitting in the reserves.

“It would be an ideal scenario to have him back on a season-long loan and it’s a view shared by our new manager.”
