Arsenal's Carl Jenkinson is subject of interest from various Premier League and Championship clubs over a loan deal to begin in January, reports ESPN FC's Peter O'Rourke.

The right-back has only made one top-flight appearance this term - a 1-1 draw at Manchester United in November - and even during Hector Bellerin's recent layoff with an ankle issue, failed to earn first-team recognition over Mathieu Debuchy and Gabriel Paulista, the latter a centre-back by trade.

Among those interested in a temporary deal for Jenkinson include West Ham United - where he spent half of last season on loan before sustaining a serious knee injury - Stoke City, Sunderland, Watford, Burnley, and also Aston Villa of the Championship.

Reported interested party Current right-backs
West Ham United Sam Byram (injured); Alvaro Arbeloa
Stoke City Phil Bardsley (injured); Glen Johnson
Sunderland Billy Jones; Javier Manquillo; Jason Denayer
Watford Daryl Janmaat; Juan Zuniga
Burnley Matthew Lowton; Jon Flanagan
Aston Villa Leandro Bacuna; Alan Hutton; Micah Richards; Ritchie De Laet

The 24-year-old, who joined from Charlton Athletic in 2011, signed fresh terms in north London until 2020 last year.
