Sunderland to beat West Ham to Arsenal star with £2m loan fee
SUNDERLAND have entered the race to sign Arsenal's Carl Jenkinson on loan.
Carl Jenkinson attracts interest from Sunderland
That is according to the Daily Telegraph, who claim the Black Cats are willing to pay a loan fee of £2million for just one season.
West Ham, where Jenkinson spent last term, are believed to be keen on keeping him at Upton Park for the 2015/16 campaign.
The England international is understood to be happy to remain at the east London club, but Sunderland's offer might be too good for Arsenal to turn down.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger still believes the 23-year-old has a future at the Emirates and has no intention of selling him on a permanent deal.
