Arsenal reportedly have Premier League clubs falling at their feet to take out-of-favour right-back Carl Jenkinson on loan in January.
"?
According to the "?Mirror, as many as four clubs from the top division have expressed interest in signing Jenkinson on a temporary basis.
Apparently Watford have become the latest club to contact the Gunners over the Englishman, after Hull, Swansea, Championship side Aston Villa and West Ham all enquired about his availability.
"?
The latter will know Jenkinson's qualities well after they took him on-loan last season, and it appears the Hammers are keen to secure his services once again.
"?
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is unlikely to allow Jenkinson to leave permanently though, after it emerged that tensions between him and Mathieu Debuchy were rising.
It has been claimed that the extent of the pair's relationship stops at a passing "hello", and it is looking increasingly likely that the Frenchman will end his Arsenal hell next month with a permanent move back to his homeland on the cards.
"?
Should that happen, it would surely scupper any chance of Jenkinson leaving the club indefinitely.
"?
The 24-year-old former Charlton Athletic man has found first-team opportunities few and far between this season after the continued high performances levels of Hector Bellerin. The Spaniard is Wenger's undisputed number one right-back at the moment, with Jenkinson only deputising on odd occasions.
One other club potentially in for his services could be Crystal Palace, who now have Sam Allardyce at the helm. Big Sam was in charge at the Boleyn Ground when Jenkinson went on-loan with the Hammers last season."?
