Carl Jenkinson Talks Joining Mizuno - Football News

After signing with Mizuno in the Summer Carl Jenkinson has gone on to play a prominent part in Arsenal's impressive start to the season. With half the season gone we caught up with Carl at his official Mizuno photoshoot to talk about how he's finding his new Morelia Neo boots and the season so far at Arsenal.

With 10 appearances in the league, a trio of Champions League run outs and a handful of games for the England U21's Jenkinson is quickly becoming a reliable choice for club and country. For Mizuno the signing looks to be a smart one; an up and coming player with big aspirations for Arsenal and England.



Talking about how he's getting on with his Mizuno and the Neo Carl told us "I signed with Mizuno in the summer and so far it's been fanatic for me. I was looking for a new boot and I tried the Morelia Neo and it was perfect for me, they're comfortable and lightweight, which is important for me and the leather offers me a bit of protection, which I need as defender. To date they've been the best boots I've worn, I'm really enjoying wearing them.



Turning matters to Arsenal and his own targets this season Jenkinson explained "My personal goal was to play as many games as I could, of course it's a World Cup year and it would be fantastic to be involved in that but my focus was solely on Arsenal and to take care of business at club level and hopefully play as many games as I could and have a strong season."



Jenkinson laced up in the new Pearl/Blue/Orange Morelia Neo colourway at his official photoshoot, a boot that he and all of Mizuno's contracted Neo players will wear to kick off 2014. Before wrapping up his photoshoot duties Carl signed a pair of his Neos to join our SB HQ wall of fame.
