West Ham are expected to tie up a second successive loan spell for Carl Jenkinson when he returns from international duty.

The 23-year-old Arsenal full back spent the whole of last season on loan at the Boleyn Ground, and despite interest from the likes of Sunderland has agreed to return to Upton Park for a second spell.Initial differences regarding the terms of the loan deal have now been resolved and Jenkinson is set to become a Hammer for the second time upon his return from the European Under 21 Championships, where he is currently representing his country.The Harlow-born defender played a full 90 minutes last night as England began their Euro campaign with a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Portugal. They also face Sweden (on Sunday) and Italy (next Wednesday) meaning that Jenkinson's return is unlikely to be announced until the following weekend, at the earliest.David Gold, speaking to the BBC earlier hinted that a deal was close when he said: ""We will work tirelessly to bring in Carl - but if that doesn't work out, we have other irons in the fire."Although West Ham have been keen on re-signing Jenkinson since the end of last season, a deal has been delayed by United's insistence that the (?2million) loan fee should be deductible from any future purchase price. KUMB revealed exclusively this week that Jenkinson had snubbed the chance to move to Sunderland , who had agreed terms with his parent club Arsenal. The Gunners are said to have insisted on a ?2million loan fee to allow Jenkinson to leave the Emirates.* To comment on this story and many more, visit the KUMB Forum
