Crystal Palace make offer to sign Carl Jenkinson from Arsenal - sources

Crystal Palace have made a bid to sign Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson, sources close to the Eagles have told ESPN FC.

A number of clubs have made enquiries to sign Jenkinson on loan during this month's transfer window, but Palace are looking to buy the full-back on a permanent deal.

Arsenal and Palace are in talks as the Eagles look to try to agree a fee, with Sam Allardyce hoping to make the 24-year-old his first signing since taking charge at Selhurst Park last month.

Allardyce previously worked with the player during a loan spell at West Ham when he was manager of the club.
