Carl Jenkinson says that he wants to be a first-team regular for Arsenal.

Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson has insisted that he won't be happy until he is a first-team regular.

The 20-year-old joined the club last year from Charlton Athletic and has mainly been used as an understudy to usual full-back Bacary Sagna.

However, the Frenchman is currently out injured, leaving Jenkinson as the Gunners' current right-back and the youngster says that he is enjoying his playing time.

"I think it's only natural that the longer you're at a club, the more at home you feel," said Jenkinson. "Coming here last year I felt a bit blown away with everything. This year I've come back and felt like one of the boys.

"It was different this year and it was nice because you like to feel comfortable and part of things. I'm happy with things at the moment and hopefully we just move on from here.

"My ambition for my whole career is to play for this football club. I want to be good enough and make my mark here. I won't be happy until I'm playing week-in, week-out. That's what I want to achieve."

Arsenal host Southampton on Saturday.
