Arsenal youngster Kaylen Hinds has completed a move to VFL Wolfsburg on a permanent transfer, it has been confirmed.

The 19-year-old forward has signed a contract that will see him stay with the Bundesliga outfit until 2020.

The German club confirmed the news on their official website and their official Twitter account on Saturday afternoon.

It is said by various reports that the fee will be £2million.

The teenager recently signed his first professional contract with the Gunners in 2015 but it appears that both parties have agreed that departing the club is the best way to further develop his footballing career.

The Englishman was sent out on loan in the January transfer window to League Two side Stevenage where his performances helped them secure a finish in the top half of the table.

The forward made a total of 12 appearances for Stevenage, contributing with one goal and one assist.

The youngster spent six years plying his trade at the Emirates Stadium but he failed to make a single appearance for the first-team.

Hinds has the potential to become a fine player as he is comfortable playing down the left wing but also as the secondary striker.

The forward has already been selected for the England national team across the Under 16, Under 17 and Under 18 levels.
