Carl Jenkinson’s transfer to Crystal Palace has been called off. The defender has failed to agree to terms with the club despite Allardyce’s staunch interest in the player.
Arsene Wenger has preferred Hector Bellerin on the right side of the defence. Gabriel has also provided cover off late and Wenger is happy with these two players’ performances. Jenkinson had been told by the club that he is free to leave the club.
Sam Allardyce who was recently handed the responsibility of Palace was very keen to rope in the player. The manager had the experience of managing him when he was in West Ham.
Jenkinson has been linked to a number of clubs as Watford and Aston Villa have also shown interest in the player.
Allardyce earlier told that they have an agreement with the Gunners and the rest depends on the player, “While we appear to have an agreement with Arsenal, that agreement with the player hasn’t reached a conclusion.”
