The 21-year-old has signed a six month loan deal at the Keepmoat.
Highly-rated Sheaf can operate as a midfielder but is also capable of playing in central defence or at right back.
He has made two senior appearances for Arsenal – both coming off the bench in the Europa League and Carabao Cup – but has yet to appear under current boss Unai Emery.
Sheaf spent the second half of the 2017/18 season on loan at Stevenage, making ten appearances.
