Arsenal duo Carl Jenkinson and Cohen Bramall have joined Birmingham on season-long loan deals, the Championship club have confirmed.

Arsene Wenger said over the weekend he was willing to let some players leave in an effort to free up space in his Arsenal squad and the defensive pair have been registered in time to feature against Bournemouth in Tuesday's Carabao Cup second round tie.

Jenkinson's future at Arsenal has been up in the air all summer after he was omitted from the club's squad during preseason plans and he has not featured so far this season.

The 25-year-old found himself out of favour at Arsenal last season, making just one appearance in the Premier League.

Jenkinson returned from a lengthy spell out of action last October after suffering a serious knee injury on loan at West Ham in January 2016, but found himself down the pecking order in Wenger's first-team plans.
