West Ham United are moving for Arsenal fullback Carl Jenkinson.
Hammers boss Sam Allardyce is hoping Arsenal will release Jenkinson for loan confirming their deal for Newcastle United fullback Mathieu Debuchy.
The Daily Mail says Allardyce would like to bring Jenkinson to Upton Park permanently but is also exploring the possibility of acquiring the services of the England international on loan.
Jenkinson is likely to find his first-team opportunities limited at the Emirates following the arrival of France international Debuchy from Newcastle.
Swansea City have already contacted Arsenal about the potential availability of Jenkinson and it looks likely to be a straight race between the Welsh outfit and the Hammers for his signature.
