New Colchester United manager Joe Dunne has completed three loan signings on his first official day as boss.
Dunne has raided Arsenal's academy to sign Craig Eastmond and Sanchez Watt, both on three-month loan deals.
The 21-year-old duo have already amassed Football League experience in previous loan spells with clubs such as Wycombe Wanderers, Leeds United, Millwall and Crawley Town.
Dunne has also brought in striker Jabo Ibhere from MK Dons, with all three available for Colchester's clash with Hartlepool United this weekend.
