British boxing legend's son joins ARSENAL as he takes next step in dream of 'becoming the world's best footballer'

Football has produced its fair share of father-son duos, from the Maldini dynasty to Schmeichels and the Haaland lineage, but what about when boxing enters the ring?

That's exactly what has happened now, as the son of a British heavyweight legend has signed with Arsenal.

David Haye's 11-year-old boy Kingston has joined the Gunners' academy from Sutton United, where he was named the U11s player of the year in 2024.

The Hayemaker even says that his son, a budding midfielder, aspires to be 'the world’s best footballer' and is 'extremely dedicated to the cause'.
