Arsenal have confirmed midfielder Isaac Hayden has joined Hull City on loan. 

The youngster featured in the Gunners' Capital One Cup campaigns during the past two years, as well as captaining the Under-21 squad last season. 

“I’m very pleased and very excited,” Hayden said. “It’s exactly what I need at this stage of my career.

Hayden became the second Arsenal youth player to leave the Emirates on loan on Friday as midfielder Dan Crowley has joined Barnsley until January.

And Chuba Akpom is set to join Hayden at Hull according to the BBC. 

 

Akpom has had previous loan spells at Brentford, Coventry and Nottingham Forest, and while he impressed during Arsenal's pre-season tour of the Far East scoring a hat-trick against the Singapore Select XI, the young striker looks close to be securing another temporary move away from the Emirates. 

And Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has dealt Arsene Wenger a major blow and by pledging his short-term future to the Bundesliga club.

 

Goal quote the Polish striker as saying: "I don’t believe the fans have already seen the best of me. I can, and will, be even better this season, I’m certain of that.

"It’s not always easy of course as there are so many factors involved. 

"It’s vital we play well as a team. That’s the most important thing.

 

"It would be useless to me personally if I was to finish top scorer but we only come second in the Bundesliga and go out of the Champions League in the last sixteen."
While duo Theo Walcott and Santi Cazorla have signed contract extensions at the club.
Walcott has agreed a new four-year deal which will see him pocket £140,000-a-week, while Spaniard Cazorla has signed a two-year extension.
