Newcastle Transfers: 6 Players That Could Replace Mathieu Debuchy

3. Carl Jenkinson

Given Newcastle's penchant for loan signings of late a mooted temporary deal for Jenkinson was reported by the Mirror in March. It emerged that Arsene Wenger would allow the one-cap England international to leave Arsenal next season to obtain more playing time and experience at a Premier League club. Albeit one that isn't challenging at the business end of the top-flight. And if the Magpies are unable to land any of their primary targets a temporary deal could suit both parties with Jenkinson unlikely to quibble over a year-long stay at St James' having fallen down the pecking order in North London. Although another stop-gap signing will further irk supporters it is arguably the most plausible of the previous three suggestions given he'd be relatively inexpensive and at 22-year-old fits in well below Ashley's age ceiling.
