Finland Confirm Arsenal Sign Jenkinson


The Finnish Football Association have confirmed that Arsenal have signed Carl Jenkinson from Charlton Athletic. A compensation package of around £1 million has been agreed.

Arsenal moved for Jenkinson two months ago, after he rejected a new contract with Charlton. The life-long Gooner quickly agreed terms with the Gunners, but the two clubs have been thrashing out a compensation package, as Carl is under 24.

A fee of around £3 million was initially debated for the right back, who can play anywhere along the back four or in midfield. Both parties agreed on a figure two weeks ago, and now the Finnish FA have confirmed the transfer, listing Jenkinson as a player from ‘Arsenal FC’.

You can catch a full interview with a Charlton youth writer about Carl in the coming days.

Can play lb or rb and is 6"2 so will hopefully be a good addition

Life long Gooner? Practically a GHEL? Possibly ousting Clichy?

Love it.

After Wenger's recent signings I find it hard to get excited/expectant from them anymore.

Bye bye Clichy then?

Gibbs first choice?

Jesus lets hope not, Gibbs is shocking

Don't think he is a Clichy replacement. From what i have heard he is a right back who can play anywhere in the back 4 or as DM. Looks like Eboue is off. 6.2' young GHEL as a second choice right back doesn't sound too bad

[server too busy!]

geez he looks like he has no left foot and just wants to play hoofball.

You can tell (at least from that clip) that the lad can defend. Positioning is right every time, and not afraid to get stuck in. Got some pace and power too.

can play anywhere along the back four or in midfield

- Is what slightly depresses me. AW chasing so called all rounders yet again. I would prefer more horses for courses in this team.

Meh. Mr Cheapskate strikes again.
