Arsenal's message for Carl Jenkinson as they draw Nottingham Forest in Carabao Cup

Arsenal responded to drawing Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup with a message for Carl Jenkinson.

The 27-year-old defender only left the Gunners for the Reds earlier this month, after eight years with the Premier League club.

Right-back Jenkinson posted an emotional message on Instagram, saying he had "truly lived my dream" by playing for his boyhood club.

And he won't have to wait long to make a return to the Emirates Stadium with Forest, with the two clubs set to do battle in the third round of the Carabao Cup next month.

"See you soon, Jenko," said Arsenal on Twitter, after Wednesday night's draw was made.

Having made over 40 appearances for Arsenal in the Premier League, Jenkinson looks to be establishing himself as Forest's first-choice right-back since his move to the City Ground and will be hoping head coach Sabri Lamouchi picks him to face his former club.
