Carl Jenkinson set for long-term Arsenal stay?

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wants Carl Jenkinson to commit his long-term future to the club once his returns from his loan spell at West Ham United.

The one-time England international has been in top form for the Hammers this season, and this had led to speculation that the East Londoners could sign him up on a permanent basis this summer.

However, it is now believed that Wenger wants the youngster to remain at the Emirates for seasons to come, with the guarantee of first-team football up his sleeves.

Jenkinson joined the Gunners from Charlton Athletic in the summer of 2011.
