ARSENE WENGER has warned Carl Jenkinson he must "find happiness" if he is to leave Arsenal - and that Mathieu Debuchy could exit this transfer window.

And though Wenger said he is still open to selling the 24-year-old - who has not played since November 30 - he warned Jenkinson he must be comfortable where he ends up.
The former Charlton kid has been linked with a cross-London transfer to Crystal Palace.
And Wenger said: "There is no news about Carl Jenkinson. We are still open to a move but it doesn’t look like something will happen.
"He is integrated in our squad. There is no problem with his attitude. He must find happiness with conditions and where he goes."
