Arsene Wenger has refused to let the defender leave Arsenal permanently

Arsenal will make Carl Jenkinson available for loan next season following talks with Arsene Wenger.

Wenger revealed earlier this month that he and the defender, who spent last season on loan at West Ham, would hold discussions about the right-back's future.

The Arsenal manager was torn between including Jenkinson in his plans for next season or freeing him for another season-long loan spell.

Jenkinson impressed on loan at West Ham last term, and his displays didn't go unnoticed by Wenger

And Sportsmail understands the Gunners have opted for the latter.

The news will spark a scramble for the defender's signature ahead of the new season.

Jenkinson impressed for the Hammers last term, and his displays didn't go unnoticed by Wenger and his staff.

The 23-year-old's future at the Emirates Stadium looked bleak following the arrivals of Mathieu Debuchy and Calum Chambers, who both arrived as right-backs in 2014.

Likewise, the emergence of Hector Bellerin has caused another obstacle for Jenkinson in his quest to secure a first-team place at Arsenal.

However, the Gunners are not prepared to let the former Charlton man leave on a permanent deal ahead of next season and want to monitor his progress at another Premier League club.
