Arsenal goalkeeper Vito Mannone joins Hull City on loan after falling to fourth in the pecking order

Arsenal have confirmed that young goalkeeper Vito Mannone has joined Championship side Hull City on loan until January.

The 22-year-old, who moved to Arsenal from Atalanta in 2005, has fallen down the pecking order at Emirates Stadium this season after being overtaken by bright young Polish keeper Wojceich Szczesny.

The goalkeeping situation at Arsenal has been subject of much debate following a series a calamitous displays by the club's custodians. Mannone himself suffered at home to Birmingham and at West Ham last season.

Ready to roar: Vito Mannone has joined Hull City on loan until January

Having turned in man of the match performances against Fulham weeks earlier, the Italian youth international dropped a routine cross allowing Blues midfielder Lee Bowyer to steal in and score. He then dealt poorly with a West Ham free-kick that resulted in Arsenal dropping two points.

However during his eight appearances Arsenal never lost and Mannone, who signed a new deal in January this year, earned Under 21 recognition for Italy in 2010.

Earlier this month he said: 'I don't get regular playing time at Arsenal. I would consider a six-month loan deal just to play.

'I am happy in London. I love the Premier League. But I get annoyed when I don't play, it's not as if the other two (Almunia and Fabianski) do that well. But if I've signed a contract extension until 2014 it is because they must value me.'

Paying the penalty: Lukasz Fabianski has at last started to convince fans he's worthy the Arsenal No 1 jersey

The stopper will immediately join up with Hull City and will stay on loan with Nigel Pearson’s side until January 3.

Arsenal's current incumbent of the No 1 jersey, Manuel Almunia, is sidelined with an elbow injury, opening the door for Lukasz Fabianski who has so far impressed.

Calls remain, though, for the Gunners to sign a more reliable No 1 with a bid for Fulham's Mark Schwarzer likley to rekindled in the winter transfer window.
