Just over a month after completing his move from Stoke City, Jaden Dixon made his Arsenal senior debut as a substitute against Mansfield in the FA Cup last weekend.

The new UK Cypriot star became the second UK Cypriot after Nico Yennaris to have played for Arsenal’s first team.

The 18 year old UK Cypriot Jaden Dixon joined them from Stoke City in the 2026 winter transfer window with a wealth of experience already under his belt.

Having started his youth career at Tottenham, Jaden moved to Stoke City in 2023, where he made 49 academy appearances and played six times for the Potters’ first team.

The central defender has represented England at under-17s, 18s and 19s level, and made his Arsenal under-21s debut in a 0-0 draw against Everton less than a week after joining the club.

Jaden was born in Havering his father is of Jamaican descent and his mother is of Turkish Cypriot descent.
