Jenkinson back at West Ham

Carl Jenkinson is back at West Ham on a season-long loan from Arsenal, who have announced the defender has also signed a new long-term deal with his parent club.

The Hammers used Twitter on Tuesday to say they are pleased to welcome back the 23-year-old for another Premier League campaign at Upton Park.

He featured in 32 of West Ham's Premier League games during 2014/15 and will spend next season in east London under new manager Slaven Bilic.

The former Charlton trainee moved to the Emirates in 2011 and he told the West Ham website: "I'm really happy to be back after last year.

"It was a good season for the club and a good season for myself."

Jenkinson, who has made 57 appearances for the Gunners, played for England at the recent European Under-21 Championship finals.

And Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said of the deal: "We have the emergence of Hector Bellerin, we have (Mathieu) Debuchy, we have (Calum) Chambers.

"We are a bit congested in an area where you do not find many right-backs all over the world.

"He will continue his development with West Ham. I found that all are winners there - West Ham and Arsenal and Jenkinson."
