Swansea City have denied they are set to sign Arsenal right-back Carl Jenkinson after he became the subject of intense speculation when his girlfriend posted a video of herself at the Liberty Stadium.

An Instagram video taken by his partner Emily Shah has put Swans fans on red alert and raised hopes the defender, who can cover centre-back as well as right-back, could be on his way to SA1.

The footage consists of two videos filmed by Shah, an American model and actress, looking around the Liberty Stadium.

She also posted a picture of herself in the dressing room.

However, Swansea have told WalesOnline the club are NOT set to sign the player. That being the case, it remains unclear why Shah was at the stadium.

Jenkinson has been linked with Swansea before and it was known that the club are still searching for a full-back ahead of the new season.

However, it was thought that a left-back was the priority - with only Martin Olsson covering that position.

The 26-year-old is seen as surplus to requirements at the Emirates Stadium, with new boss Unai Emery leaving him out of his 25-man squad to tour Singapore last month.

In fact, the defender hasn't played for Arsenal since November 2016.

A deal to take him to Crystal Palace on a permanent move fell through the following January while a loan spell at Birmingham last year saw him play nine games before losing his place after some time out injured.
