Arsenal midfielder Isaac Hayden joins Hull City on loan

Hull City have signed Arsenal youngster Isaac Hayden on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old midfielder, who has made two senior appearances for the Gunners, will aim to gain first-team experience in the Championship with the Tigers.

"It's exactly what I need at this stage of my career," he told Hull's website.

"The manager (Steve Bruce) has been great with me and I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of the lads - I can't wait to get started now."

Hull, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, begin life back in the Championship with a home match against Huddersfield Town a week on Saturday.
