Arsenal have made a transfer deadline day signing as they have snapped up teenage defender Jaden Dixon from Stoke City in a deal that reportedly cost the club around the £3.2 million mark.
The 18-year-old started his career with Tottenham, but moved north to join Stoke in 2023, making his professional debut a year later and has impressed the Gunners scouts over the past 12 months and a move was made by ARSENAL on deadline day.
The teenager now makes a huge step up to Arsenal, signing a four-year deal with the Premier League leaders, and Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that the Gunners have paid an initial £3.2m for Dixon, with potential add-ons.
Dixon did not take long to make his way through the ranks at Stoke after joining from Spurs as a 16-year-old, Speaking in 2024, he said: ‘My time at Stoke so far has been pretty much perfect. Since I have been here, the love I have been shown is great, this is a real family club.
‘I feel like they have trusted me and put a lot of faith in me. They did that by putting me into the Under-21s straight away and I’ve just been able to thrive from there.’
He will join the ARSENAL academy, hoping to quickly make an impact in the Under-21 side and work his way towards the first team.

The January window was an opportunity for Mikel Arteta to add to his squad, sign a few players that would make a real difference for the rest of the season. Just like Manchester City and Liverpool managed.
Dixon is a player that ARSENAL have big hopes for and that is why they made this move at this stage of the transfer window, he will be hoping that he does not spend too much time in that under-21 squad.
Joining Arsenal is a massive decision to make and one that he will surely enjoy, it is probably just not the signing that Arsenal fans were hoping for.
