Dundee United have sealed the loan capture of Tim Akinola from Arsenal.
As revealed by Courier Sport, the 20-year-old midfielder has agreed a deal through to the end of the season at Tannadice and will be available for Tuesday night’s Dundee derby clash at Dens Park.
Akinola is rated highly by Arsenal, where he has played a key role in their under-23 side’s push up to fourth place in the Premier League 2 table.
Adding first team experience at Scottish Premiership level has been identified by the Gunners as the next step in his development, with United considered the ideal proving ground.
Akinola is a ball-playing midfielder, who was snapped up by Arsenal from Huddersfield in August 2020.
