Young Arsenal midfielder Dan Crowley has signed a season-long loan deal with League One side Oxford United.
Teenager Crowley is part of the England U19 set-up and spent the first half of the 2015-16 season on loan with Barnsley.
Crowley, who also played youth level football for the Republic of Ireland, is yet to make a senior appearance for Arsenal but did travel with the Gunners squad for their pre-season tour of Singapore last summer before making his loan move.
He said on the club's official website: "I'm glad to have the opportunity here.
"It's obviously a club that is going places and did really well last season so I'm looking forward to settling in, working hard in pre-season and being part of a successful side again this time around."
United head coach Michael Appleton added: "He is a really talented player, very creative and good on the ball.
"He sees a pass and an opportunity very quickly and can play just behind the striker, in midfield or coming in off the flanks so he offers us plenty of options.
"He has a fantastic future ahead of him and it's great that Oxford is starting to build a reputation as a club where we can work with young players like Dan, nurture them and play a role in their development.
At the same time we will only do so if we believe it benefits and strengthens the squad here and I think he definitely fits that bill."
