Hammers loan Jenkinson

England full-back Carl Jenkinson has joined West Ham United on a season-long
loan from Arsenal
31.07.2014

West Ham United are delighted to announce the arrival of defender Carl
Jenkinson on a season-long loan from Arsenal. The 22-year-old right-back,
who has been capped at senior level by England, opted to join the Hammers
after the Club beat off competition from several of their Barclays Premier
League rivals to secure his services. Jenkinson said he had no hesitation
about moving to the Boleyn Ground as soon as he heard West Ham were
interested in bringing him to east London, thanking Joint-Chairmen David
Sullivan and David Gold and manger Sam Allardyce for the opportunity. It's
brilliant how it has turned out and I just want to thank the Gaffer and Mr
Sullivan and Mr Gold because they put in a big push to get me here," said
the defender. "I'm clearly seen as a big part of things here and hopefully I
can prove my worth here because it is an important year for me. "I was
flattered to have a lot of options but, deep down, if I was being honest
with myself West Ham was always the place I wanted to go to. It's one of
them where I wanted to do the right professional thing and consider all the
options, but in the back of my mind it was always West Ham and I'm just so
glad it's all worked out how I wanted it to in the end. "It will be
brilliant to play here. I've got a lot of friends who are West Ham fans and
I know how good the supporters are here. I've played here a couple of times
so I know exactly what it is all about, so it's going to be fantastic to be
a part of that, to be honest. You get a great atmosphere here and the fans
are great, so I just can't wait to get a West Ham shirt on and get on the
pitch and play. This is an exciting time for me, it really is."

The Harlow-born player becomes West Ham's sixth summer signing, following
the arrival of Argentine forward Mauro Zarate, Ecuador FIFA World Cup
striker Enner Valencia, Senegal defensive midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate,
left-back Aaron Cresswell and midfielder Diego Poyet. With the Olympic
Stadium move to look forward to in 2016, Jenkinson believes the Hammers are
a Club on the up. "To be honest, that was a big swing in this for me, seeing
this Club is going in the right direction," he continued. "Obviously the
stadium plans are only a couple of years away and that's going to improve
this Club massively. Of course it's only a loan deal, but this Club is going
in the right direction. "We've signed six players and they are top players
as well. It's a very exciting time to be a part of this Club. There is an
English group of lads here, which is always great for an English lad, and
the players who have been brought in are top-drawer, so there is every
reason to be optimistic about this season. That was a big reason I signed
here."

Jenkinson began his career at Charlton Athletic, where he enjoyed a
fantastic 2010/11 season before being snapped up by Arsenal at the age of 19
in June 2011. He was given an early chance to impress at the Emirates
Stadium, making his competitive debut in a UEFA Champions League qualifier
against Udinese in August 2011, and has totalled 57 first-team appearances
for the Gunners. Jenkinson has made 37 appearances in the Premier League for
Arsenal, scoring his first goal in senior football in a 2-0 victory over
Norwich City on the final day of last season. He has also played 12 times in
the Champions League, helping the north London side reach the Round of 16 in
each of the last two campaigns. Internationally, Jenkinson played at
age-group level both for England and Finland - the country of his mother's
birth. However, in 2012 he decided to commit his international future for
England and made his debut for Roy Hodgson's side in a friendly defeat to
Sweden in Stockholm that November. He has since been capped five times by
England U21s, having previously turned out three times for Finaland at the
same level in 2011. Jenkinson will join up with his new team-mates on Friday
before travelling with the squad to the Schalke 04 Cup tournament in Germany
this weekend.

Bywater happy with productive summer

Dev Squad midfielder Kieran Bywater is hoping for another positive
performance against Newport
31.07.2014

West Ham United's Development Squad have enjoyed a successful pre-season
campaign to date and will aim for a third win in a row when they take on
Newport County at Little Heath on Saturday. Kieran Bywater excelled in
midfield as Nick Haycock's side defeated Braintree Town in midweek and he is
hoping for more of the same when they take on League Two Newport. "It's been
a productive pre-season for us so far," he said. "We've kept a winning
mentality with the performances we've put in, and we're getting a style of
play that we want for the season ahead. "It's not about results at this time
of year, but of course the wins help with our confidence. We're getting our
fitness there too, so it's good."

The U21s' pre-season schedule has taken in tests against senior non-league
opposition as well as matches against continental sides, and Bywater thinks
the mix can only be of help. He continued: "Playing a range of different
sides is what we need at this stage of our development. Playing Braintree on
Tuesday, they were a physical, senior side, and we've mixed it up against
teams like Espanyol. That will help us going into the European games we've
got this season as well.
"We need to be able to cope with physical players as part of our game,
getting on the second balls and being physical ourselves. We gain a lot from
playing against men in these games."

"We're looking forward to the competitive games starting and the season
getting underway. First and foremost, I have to be pushing to get in the
Under-21s side and perform at that level - that's my first aim for this
season. "I scored a lot of goals playing further forward for the U18s last
year and I think I've got that in my game to score from midfield, but I've
been playing a slightly deeper role this year and learning different kinds
of roles within the midfield. "I've been enjoying it and getting my fitness
back for the season."

Harney's NI close in on title
WHUFC.com
A 2-1 victory over Mexico helps Jamie Harney's Northern Ireland U19 move
closer to Dale Farm Milk Cup title
31.07.2014

Jamie Harney's Northern Ireland U19 side are in pole position to claim the
Dale Farm Milk Cup title after making it two wins from two on Wednesday.
Following a 2-0 victory over China earlier in the week, the host nation
recovered from a goal down to defeat Mexico 2-1. Northern Ireland's goals
came in the final eight minutes, with Mikhail Kennedy and Sean Mullen
netting to overturn the advantage given to Mexico by Victor Guzman. The
match also had its fair share of controversy, with three Mexicans and a
Northern Irish player seeing red for violent conduct during the second half.
The first altercation saw Raul Monala Gudino, Carlos Arreola and Robbie
McDaid given their marching orders, with Mexico's Kevin Gutierrez joining
them for an early bath in the closing stages.
Now, Northern Ireland merely need to avoid defeat against Canada in their
final fixture on Friday to lift the title.

West Ham sign Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson on loan
BBC.co.uk

West Ham have signed Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson on a season-long loan.
The 22-year-old had been linked with several Premier League clubs, but opted
for the Hammers. "I'm clearly seen as a big part of things here and
hopefully I can prove my worth because it is an important year for me,"
Jenkinson said.
The right-back has slipped down the pecking order at Arsenal following the
recent signings of full-backs Mathieu Debuchy, 29, and Calum Chambers, 19.
France international Debuchy joined from Newcastle for an undisclosed fee in
July and youngster Chambers moved from Southampton, for £16m, earlier this
week. Jenkinson, who has won one England cap, played 22 games in all
competitions for the Gunners last season. He said: "I was flattered to have
a lot of options but, deep down, if I was being honest with myself West Ham
was always the place I wanted to go to." The former Charlton Athletic player
becomes West Ham's sixth new player, following the signing of Ecuador
striker Enner Valencia from Pachuca, midfielder Diego Poyet from Charlton,
striker Mauro Zarate from Velez Sarsfield, Anderlecht's Senegal
international midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate and Ipswich full-back Aaron
Cresswell.

West Ham midfielder Ravel Morrison remanded in custody for common assault

West Ham midfielder Ravel Morrison has been remanded in custody at
Manchester Magistrates' Court until August 7 after being charged with two
counts of common assault. Morrison has been charged with section 47 assault
and two counts of common assault after police were called to an address in
Salford in the early hours of Sunday morning - and District Judge James
Prowse refused a bail application made by his solicitor Ros Emsley-Smith.
The 21-year-old Morrison, who spoke only to confirm his name and age, is
accused of attacking his 19-year-old ex-girlfriend Reah Mansoor outside a
bar in Manchester city centre and later assaulting the same woman and her
39-year-old mother Parveen Mansoor in Salford. District Judge Prowse told
him: "You are remanded in custody to appear back before this court by
video-link from prison one week from today on August 7."

An earlier police statement confirmed: "At about 3.20am on Sunday, July 27
2014, police were called to an address on Alexandra Road, Peel Green,
Salford, following reports a 19-year-old woman and a 39-year-old woman had
been assaulted. "Officers attended and established the young woman had also
been assaulted outside a bar in Manchester city centre earlier that evening
and a 21-year-old man was subsequently arrested at a later date. "Ravel
Morrison, of Urmston, is charged with two common assaults. He is due before
Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on July 31, 2014."

The midfielder started his career at Manchester United in 2009 but left to
join West Ham in the January 2012 transfer window before loan spells with
Birmingham and QPR. An England U21 international Sir Alex Ferguson once
hailed as the most talented player he had seen, Morrison impressed for West
Ham in the early part of last season and was tipped to make Roy Hodgson's
World Cup squad before he was loaned out to QPR in February. Last week
Hammers boss Sam Allardyce opened the door for Morrison to return to the
fold in pre-season claiming he was an 'outstanding talent who needs to
knuckle down and get used to the discipline side of the game'.

West Ham have signed defender Carl Jenkinson from Arsenal on a season-long
loan. Jenkinson's first-team chances at Arsenal were limited following the
recent arrivals of Mathieu Debuchy and Calum Chambers and boss Arsene Wenger
is happy for him to go out on loan to get regular first-team football.
There have been a number of clubs interested in the England international
with Hull City, Swansea City and Sunderland all thought to have enquired
about the 22-year-old, but Hammers boss Sam Allardyce has won the race to
sign him. "You get a great atmosphere here and the fans are great, so I just
can't wait to get a West Ham shirt on and get on the pitch and play. This is
an exciting time for me, it really is." Jenkinson told West Ham's official
website: "I'm clearly seen as a big part of things here and hopefully I can
