1) Dixon started his career at Tottenham
The defender came through the youth ranks of Arsenal’s North London rivals, Spurs.
Dixon spent some time in their academy before he was released. He was then picked up by Stoke City in the summer of 2023. Speaking just before he sealed his switch to Arsenal, the Potters’ former academy director Gareth Owen gave his thoughts on the move:
“I’ve probably got a biased opinion about Jaden. I was heavily involved in him coming to the club in the first place when he left Tottenham. It’ll be interesting how he handles being an ex-Tottenham player at Arsenal if it does happen.”
“However, he’s one of the best centre-halves in the country at his age group and England say so. He has got the ability deserving to be at that level.”
