Arsenal youth star Tim Akinola has signed for Scottish Premiership side Dundee United on loan for the remainder of the campaign.

The 20-year-old, who has been with the club since the summer of 2020 when he joined from Huddersfield Town, played 21 Premier League 2 games last term.

He played a further 11 games in Premier League 2 this term, but is now getting a chance to gain regular first-team football at Dundee.

The defensive midfielder is Nigerian-born, and is eligible to play for both England and Nigeria.

Akinola will be hoping to show Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta that he is first-team material during this loan spell.
