Salah Oulad M’Hand set to leave Arsenal for Hull

The teenage prospect is due in Hull today (Thursday) to seal his Gunners exit and Hull are excited about the prospect of landing him.

Manager Shota Arveladze and owner Acun Ilicali have pushed hard for the deal, even though they know there will be a period of adjustment required.

He will wear the number ten shirt for the second tier club, which underlines how central they see him being to their plans this season.

A purchase fee and terms have already been agreed with the youngster, so if he impresses at Hull, they can keep him permanently.

Arsenal have already lost Omari Hutchinson this summer, losing the highly-rated youngster to London rivals Chelsea and this is another blow down the same lines.

Arteta has previously hailed his ‘‘ and many Gunners fans may well now be tracking his next move to see how he gets on at Hull.
