West Ham boss Allardyce confirms deal close for Arsenal fullback Jenkinson

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has confirmed they're pushing to sign Arsenal fullback Carl Jenkinson.

West Ham are a number of clubs to have registered an interest in one-capped England man - with Hull City having a £3million bid rebuffed by Arsene Wenger - and Sam Allardyce is confident that a deal can be completed swiftly to bring Jenkinson in a season-long loan.

"We're interested in signing Carl Jenkinson on loan from Arsenal," he told talkSPORT.

"I'm hoping it's going to be completed in the next twenty four hours. We're hoping it's all going to be OK."
