Sunderland tipped to make fresh bid for Arsenal full-back Jenkinson

Arsenal's Carl Jenkinson will again be targeted by Sunderland in the winter, according to reports.

The Sun suggests that the Black Cats could make another move for the right-back when the January transfer window opens after missing out in him in the summer.

Jenkinson has featured for Arsene Wenger in recent matches against Manchester United and PSG but Mathieu Debuchy was preferred ahead of him for the weekend's win over AFC Bournemouth.

Hector Bellerin is the clear number one in the right full-back position at the Emirates Stadium which suggests to The Sun that Jenkinson, 24, is increasingly likely to leave in the New Year.

Jenkinson will return to the Gunners' line-up for tonight's EFL Cup quarter-final clash with Southampton after Debuchy was injured early on the weekend, but his future in North London is once again clouded.

David Moyes is seeking defensive reinforcements as he strives to get things back on track on Wearside and Jenkinson remains an option for the Black Cats boss.
