Henri Lansbury, the England U19 captain, has joined the League One side Scunthorpe United on a one-month loan from Arsenal.

Lansbury, 18, is expected to complete his move to Glanford Park on Monday and will be eligible for the squad to face Southend United on Tuesday night.

He is captain of the England U19 side, where he plays alongside fellow Iron loanee Krystian Pearce, and made four Carling Cup appearances for the Gunners this season.

Scunthorpe are in the play-off positions in League One and pushing for an immediate return to the Championship following relegation in the summer.
