Arsenal<\/a>\u2019s latest signing Carl Jenkinson<\/a> says he is delighted to have joined his boyhood club after his move from fellow London side Charlton Athletic<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The defender is the first new addition at the Emirates this summer and is looking forward to staking his claim in the Gunners’ first team with a good pre-season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being brought up as an Arsenal fan, Jenkinson could not hide his excitement over joining Arsene Wenger\u2019s side.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s amazing to have joined. Words can’t really describe how it feels to be honest,\u201d the 19-year-old told the club\u2019s official website<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing an Arsenal fan, it’s an amazing thing for me and something that I am really excited about.<\/span><\/p>\n

“My dad has been a season ticket holder for 40-odd years and has been going regularly since he was a kid.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe brought me up as an Arsenal fan and I’ve been going since I was young. I even went to a few games last season. My whole family are all massive Arsenal fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a centre-back by trade, the youngster says he found a role model in Gunners legend Tony Adams and now has the opportunity to become a defensive figurehead himself in north London.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I was always a big fan of Tony Adams and I’m reading his book at the moment. He was always someone I looked at as a great leader. He is a player I can learn a lot from and I will be looking to follow in his footsteps.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
