DONE DEAL: Nottingham Forest sign Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson

Nottingham Forest have made their eighth summer transfer window signing by bringing in Arsenal's once-capped England defender Carl Jenkinson.

The 27-year-old has joined the Championship side for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year contract.

Injuries helped to limit Jenkinson to 70 appearances for Arsenal in eight years following his move from Charlton Athletic as a teenager in 2011.

He played eight times in 2018-19, three of those games in the Europa League.

Jenkinson, whose mother is Finn, represented Finland at under-21 level. But he committed his future to England after talks with then manager Roy Hodgson.
