As a midfielder he has already caught the attention of scouts, many of whom are predicting a bright future for the 11-year-old.
Kingston's technical ability, vision and ball control have earned him a reputation as one of the most promising talents around, which has now led to his move to North London.
His ability to dictate play from the middle of the park has drawn comparisons to some of the top young footballers in Europe and Arsenal's faith in his potential has been rewarded with a junior contract.
Haye's eldest son Cassius Haye is also making a name for himself at tennis.
At just 17 years old, Cassius has been making waves on the junior circuit, competing internationally and impressing coaches and fans alike with his raw talent and competitive spirit.
His powerful serve, quick footwork, and aggressive playing style have drawn comparisons to the greats of the sport.
But it's not just his on-court skills that impress — Cassius also possesses the mental toughness that has been a hallmark of his father's career.
Haye Snr won the WBA heavyweight belt in 2009 when he beat the giant 7ft Russian Nikolai Valuev.
His success was built on physical prowess and mental fortitude, and it seems that Cassius and Kingston are carrying that same drive into their respective careers.

Arsenal's stance on Eberechi Eze transfer revealed as date release clause expires is confirmed
Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze this summer, but it remains to be seen if the Gunners can strike a deal for the 27-year-old Arsenal are interested in Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, but want to offload a forward before making a formal approach. The Gunners have made six new signings so far this summer, with Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera, Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga all joining the club. Eze is another player that has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates and he does have a £68million release clause in his contract. However, multiple reports have stated that the clause expires on Friday. And BBC Sport are reporting that Arsenal have 'shown no inclination of triggering the forward's release fee', with the Gunners looking to sell before they make any more new signings. The report adds that Arsenal value Eze at less than £68m and 'want to negotiate a deal beneath the agreement'. Palace have so far been unwilling to negotiate a lower fee, but it is claimed that may change later in the window. When asked about Eze's future back in May, Palace boss Oliver Glasner said: "I don't want to comment on individual players. "We could talk about Marc Guehi, we could talk about Dean Henderson, we could talk about Adam Wharton, we could talk about Jean-Philippe Mateta, Daniel Munoz, Ismaila Sarr who played an incredible, outstanding season for us. We won't sell all of them." And Glasner has been left frustrated with Palace's lack of business so far this summer, having only spent £3m on a backup goalkeeper and a left-back. "Even though all the players are still here, we haven't made the most of the transfer window so far," Glasner admitted. "I was promised that we would be more active and bring in the new players earlier this year. As of now, I have 17 outfield players. "I hope we don't lose any more. If that happens and we get four new ones on deadline day like last year, another false start is possible." Palace's business has been complicated by the fact that they are still waiting to find out which European competition they will be playing in next season. Palace qualified for the Europa League after winning the FA Cup last season, but have been demoted to the Conference League by UEFA. UEFA ruled that they had breached their multi-club ownership rules, but Palace have lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport and a decision is expected before August 11.

Gervonta Davis' trainer responds to retirement rumour with four-word message
Gervonta 'Tank' Davis's trainer, Kenny Ellis, has dispelled the rumours that his fighter is retiring from boxing. The social media rumour mill had begun spinning that Davis was telling those close to him that he was done with boxing and getting ready to hang up his gloves. But Ellis was quick to respond to these rumours, writing on X/Twitter: 'Per usual FAKE news.' This could potentially push back his scheduled rematch with Lamont Roach, which was set for 16 August. Their rematch was initially scheduled to take place on 21 June in Las Vegas, but it was delayed by Premier Boxing Champions. In their initial encounter, the underdog, Roach, held Davis to a majority decision draw, which many felt that the champion was lucky to get and retain his WBA lightweight title. The American power-puncher's uncharacteristically lacklustre performance helped stoke rumours of his disenfranchisement. Roach was denied a knockdown in the ninth round when a jab sent Davis onto one knee. The referee initially started the count but stopped it when he learned it was due to an unknown substance had got into Davis's eye. Roach and his team lodged an appeal with the New York State Athletic Commission after the fight. The result was upheld due to the decision not to call a knockdown was not 'outcome-determinative', but NYSAC did say that the referee did make the wrong call. They said: "The bout continued for more than three full rounds after the referee's no knockdown call, and because the boxers necessarily adjusted to the referee's ruling, the referee's call was not outcome-determinative. "Following an extensive after-the-fact review of the footage of the ninth round, that the most appropriate call ... would have been for the referee to determine that Mr. Davis' knee contacting the canvas constituted a knockdown.' Davis has since been linked with fights against bigger names like Jake Paul and Manny Pacquiao. But if Davis wishes to have these big-money fights and does not want to retire, he must first honour his contractually obligated rematch with Roach.

David Gray's men are finalising their own plans for next Thursday's Europa Conference League third qualifying round, first leg contest at the intimidating Partizan Stadium, with the exact fixture details only confirmed this afternoon. Hibs are also still working on details of an away allocation.

There had been some doubt raised after travelling fans were banned from both legs of Partizan's second qualifying round tie against Ukrainian side Oleksandriya, which ended in a 6-0 aggregate win for the Serbs. Partizan coach hopes for 'no penalty' from UEFA Political tensions between the two nations remain high because of Serbia's close relationships Russia - including Partizan travelling to Moscow to play Dynamo in the 'Brotherly Cup' just last month, despite Russian sides still being banned from UEFA competition. Speaking after last night's home triumph in front of almost 30,000 supporters, Partizan boss Srđan Blagojević expressed hope that there would be no further bans for his team's supporters – who have a long UEFA rap sheet – moving forward. 'I hope that there will be no penalty from UEFA and that we will have this kind of support in the next game,' said Blagojević, the veteran coach thanking supporters for a sell-out attendance and adding: 'We enjoyed this kind of atmosphere. 'I would like to thank the audience that recognized this moment, it meant a lot to us. I repeat, I hope that we will pass without any penalty, to use the moment to ride on this positive wave.'

People need to understand that their decisions have radically changed the course of the game. 'I believe that everyone saw that those decisions, not only in Ukraine but also here, were crucial in the match. Someone like this shouldn't be refereeing Conference League, Europa League or Champions League matches.' UEFA have named an all-Maltese team of on-field match officials for the game in Belgrade, led by referee Philip Farugia. But two Englishman will be in charge of VAR, with Chris Kavanagh assisted by Ian Hussin.
