Reports have emerged claiming that Sunderland will do all they can to land Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson.
The Evening Chronicle reported that the Wearsiders were linked with full-back Jenkinson over the weekend, reports suggesting they are prepared to pay a £2m loan fee to bring the England international to the club.
However, Sunderland will face stiff competition for the 23-year-old, West Ham keen to bring him back to Upton Park after he spent a successful loan spell there last term.
Whether the Wearsiders win the battle for Jenkinson’s signature or not, the Black Cats’ move indicates they are scouring the loan market for reinforcements.
