Arsenal defender Jenkinson to join Hull City on loan?

Arsenal full back Carl Jenkinson has been given permission to speak with Hull City and manager Steve Bruce after the Gunners accepted a loan offer from the Tigers this morning.

The 22-year-old has been told he is free to leave the Emirates on a loan deal as the Gunners look set to secure a move for Southampton defender Calum Chambers. Jenkinson, who only recently signed a new deal at Arsenal, is ready to leave North London in search of regular first team action.

Several websites have reported that Jenkinson will complete a permanent deal to Hull City, however we can reveal that the deal that will see Jenkinson move to the Tigers is a season long loan and at the end of the season the two clubs will be able to discuss a permanent move for the right back.

Arsene Wenger still sees Jenkinson as a valuable member of his first team squad.
