Arsenal are set to follow up the loaning of Isaac Hayden to Hull City by also sending striker Chuba Akpom on loan to the KC Stadium.
Hull confirmed earlier today that they have taken Hayden, who can play in defence or in midfield, on loan from Arsenal for the entire forthcoming campaign.
And according to the BBC, Akpom is all set to join Hayden at the Championship club.
Akpom recently scored a hat-trick for the Gunners in a pre-season game against a Singapore XI and it had been thought Gunners boss Arsene Wenger would not look to loan him out.
However, the 19-year-old now seems set to continue his career under Steve Bruce in the Championship next season.
