He has played twice for the Gunners – both in the League Cup.

Bruce, who has also recruited Newcastle utility player Ryan Taylor and Chesterfield winger Sam Clucas, revealed his side still hope to sign Odubajo’s Brentford teammate Andre Gray. The versatile midfielder expressed his delight at joining the Championship club and believes that it is the flawless move at this stage of his career.

He told Hull’s official site: “I didn’t get to play in too many games last season due to injury and playing Under-21s football at my age isn’t enough for my development.”

“This club is an ambitious one, so to be part of this is a great opportunity – it’s a chance for me to prove myself”.

Meanwhile, according to BBC Sport, Hayden’s teammate Chuba Akpom, is also poised to join him at the KC Stadium on a season-long loan.

“But the hard work doesn’t stop there it means you have to maintain a place, hopefully this season I can give it my all and be involved in the team”.
