Five clubs are reportedly interested in taking Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson on loan until the end of the season.

Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson has reportedly emerged as a loan target for a number of clubs ahead of the January transfer window.

Following a long-term knee injury, Jenkinson made his return in October but after just five appearances, he has fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium.

According to The Mirror, as many as five clubs have shown a willingness to sign the 24-year-old on a temporary basis at the start of 2017.

West Ham United are an option, with Jenkinson already spending two loan spells with the Hammers, while Watford, Swansea City, Hull City and Aston Villa are also said to be interested.

While Jenkinson's future in North London looks uncertain, it has been suggested that Arsenal will only entertain loan bids for the right-sided defender.
