Kaylen Hinds signs new Arsenal deal and joins Stevenage on loan

Arsenal academy forward Kaylen Hinds has signed a new contract with the Gunners and joined Stevenage on loan for the rest of the season.

The 19-year-old has yet to feature for the Arsenal first team but nonetheless decided to pen an extension before committing himself to the League Two side for the rest of the campaign.

An England youth international at Under-18 level, Hinds is a product of the Hale End academy system, and has scored once in three appearances for Arsenal's Under-23 side this season.

Hinds becomes the second Gunners player to leave on loan during the current window after Chuba Akpom completed a move to Brighton & Hove Albion last night.

Stevenage, who sit 14th in League Two, have made two signings so far this month, with Jack King arriving on a free transfer from Scunthorpe United.
