Salah signed a five-year contract when he joined from Feyenoord in 2020 but fractured his ankle shortly after joining. His younger brother Ismail joined the Gunners last year.

He scored at Newport County in last season's Football League Trophy, the second year he has played for Arsenal in the competition. He was also an unused substitute against Leeds United in last season's League Cup - reward, said Mikel Arteta "for what he does every day in training and the games that he’s playing, for his attitude and the quality he has."

But according to the Hull Daily Mail, the 18-year-old has pushed for a move Hull have been working on throughout the summer despite Arsenal's reluctance to lose him.

Salah also has Moroccan citizenship but has played for the Netherlands at under-15 and under-17 level.

A fee to make the deal permanent is understood to have already been agreed.

Coach Shota Arveladze said on Tuesday Birmingham City midfielder Ryan Woods had undergone a medical and was expected to be signed in time to face West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
