Carl Jenkinson has signed a new long-term deal with Arsenal and rejoined West Ham on a season-long loan.The right-back, who spent the 2014-15 season at Upton Park and made 36 appearances in all competitions, is understood to have penned a five-year deal with the Gunners, prior to returning to east London.
Goal revealed in June that the Hammers were negotiating with the Gunners in a bid to secure Jenkinson's signature, along with Sunderland, and they have now confirmed his arrival, with Jenkinson expressing his delight at his move.
"I'm really happy to be back after last year," he told West Ham's official website. "It was a good season for the club and a good season for myself.
"To be honest I just wanted to come back here and I'm happy everything's been sorted out. I've got another season here and I can't wait.
"I'm a young player and I haven't had too many experiences of different clubs, but I loved every minute of it here. Everything about it is fantastic - it's a real family club, the lads are great and the fans are great, so it ticks all the boxes you want when you join a football club.
"I've got to come in, show what I can do and prove myself to a new manager. That keeps you on your toes and I've got to go and do that in pre-season. I'm looking forward to it.”
