Hull City boss Mike Phelan targets Arsenal's Carl Jenkinson to boost Premier League survival bid

Hull boss Mike Phelan has confirmed he wants Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson to boost his club's Premier League survival bid.

Jenkinson, 24, has been restricted to five cup appearances this season for Arsenal, who are ready to let the right-back head out on loan or leave on a permanent transfer.

Phelan has targeted Jenkinson to help shore up his leaky defence, which has conceded 39 goals in 18 league games, but faces stiff competition from several other top-flight clubs.
