Arsenal loan Jon Toral to Birmingham and Isaac Hayden to Hull

Arsenal have loaned young midfielder Jon Toral to Birmingham City for a year and defender Isaac Hayden to Hull.

Toral, 20, spent the 2014-15 season at Brentford on loan and scored six goals in 37 appearances.

The former Barcelona youth product is highly rated by Arsene Wenger and was involved in this summer's tour to Singapore. A statement on the club website read: "Everyone would like to wish Jon well for his season with the Blues."

Later on Friday Arsenal announced England youth international Hayden's loan to Hull.

Hayden, also 20, signed a new four-year contract at Arsenal in February 2014 and has made two senior appearances for the first-team.

Both came in the League Cup -- against West Bromwich Albion and Southampton -- but he was also an unused substitute in the Champions League last-16 at Bayern Munich in March 2014.
