Arsene Wenger insists Carl Jenkinson is to blame for stalled Crystal Palace move: ‘It’s down to him to find an agreement’

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed defenders Mathieu Debuchy and Carl Jenkinson could both still leave the club before the January window shuts.

However, he insists the ball is now solely in Jenkinson's court over his potential switch to Crystal Palace.

The Eagles have already agreed a deal for the 24-year-old right-back, although Sam Allardyce admitted on Wednesday the move is now ‘hanging in the balance’ thanks to the player’s agent.

"I think that's [down to] negotiations between the chairman and the agent," Allardyce said in a press conference.
