Arrival of Calum Chambers and Mathieu Debuchy in the summer was seen a hindrance for the progress of Carl Jenkinson and he was eventually loaned out to the Hammers in a hunt for Premier League minutes.
The former Charlton Athletic starlet made the most out of the opportunity as he made eye-catching performances under Sam Allardyce and has now attracted interests from multitude of English clubs, who are into the market for top-quality, yet cheap right-back.
English media now report that Arsene Wenger may likely veto his return opening doors for yet another loan move, preferably to a Premier League outfit.
Murmurs around Upton Park suggest that the current deal may be extended for one more season given his prominence in that part of London.
Hector Bellerin has been a surprise this season giving France international Mathieu Debuchy a run for his money with his sublime displays while Calum Chambers failed to impress the Emirates Stadium crowd before the introduction of the Spaniard.
Given the prowess and age of the right-backs that the Gunners now boast, it is highly unlikely that Carl Jenkinson makes the cut at Arsenal in the upcoming seasons.
However, if Barcelona intensify their interest in Hector Bellerin and manage to lure him back to Camp Nou, the 23-year-old right-back may get to cement his spot at Arsenal.
