Arsene Wenger explains reason for sending Carl Jenkinson back to West Ham

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has claimed that West Ham United is a good place for Carl Jenkinson to continue his development.

The 23-year-old re-joined the Hammers on a season-long loan on Tuesday following his stint at Upton Park during the 2014-15 campaign.

"He has moved because he had the confidence of West Ham," Wenger told the club's official website. "We have the emergence of Hector Bellerin, we have [Mathieu] Debuchy, we have [Calum] Chambers.

"We are a bit congested in an area where you do not find many right backs all over the world. He will continue his development with West Ham. I found that all are winners there - [West Ham] and Arsenal and Jenkinson."

Jenkinson signed for the Gunners from Charlton Athletic in 2011.
