The youngster has joined Arsenal 's U13s team after being tipped for a bright future by those that have kept a keen eye on his budding career.
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.
And the young gun has thanked his former heavyweight champion dad, 44, and the rest of his family for helping him make the next step in his development.
On Instagram, he wrote: "I am officially signed to Arsenal's academy as an U13s player.
"I have come so far and wouldn't have been able to do it without my family, coaches and everyone who has supported me.
"I want to say a special thank you to Sutton Academy who helped me get to this point, they helped shape me into the player I am today."
Kingston isn't the only one of Haye's kids to be carving out their own story in the world of sport.
