Arsenal have made a transfer deadline day signing as they have snapped up teenage defender Jaden Dixon from Stoke City.

The 18-year-old started his career with Tottenham, but moved north to join Stoke in 2023, making his professional debut a year later.

Opportunities in the first team under Mark Robins have proved difficult to come by, but Dixon has picked up international experience.

The defender has been capped up to Under-19 level for England, making his debut for that team last year.

The teenager now makes a huge step up to Arsenal, signing a four-year deal with the Premier League leaders.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that the Gunners have paid an initial £3.2m for Dixon, with potential add-ons.

There was interest from elsewhere, but Dixon has opted to return to London and join the side which topped the Champions League group stage table.
