Get ready to meet Arsenal's newest talents! Jaden Dixon and Evan Mooney are now part of the team, and we're giving you an exclusive first look at their training session with their new teammates. But here's where it gets interesting: these two players have quite the journey behind them. Jaden, a defender with a bright future, comes to us from Stoke City, where he made a name for himself with 49 academy appearances and six first-team outings. He's even represented England at the under-17s, under-18s, and under-19s levels! Evan, on the other hand, is a forward with a wealth of experience in Scotland, having played for the under-19s and made 23 senior appearances for The Saints since his professional debut in October 2024. His only senior goal so far was a memorable one, scoring an 88th-minute equaliser against St. Johnstone. You can catch these rising stars in action for the first time when our under-21s take on Everton at Mangata Developments Stadium on Friday, January 6, at 7 p.m. (UK time). Entry to the match is free for all supporters, and if you can't make it in person, the full match will be streamed live on Arsenal.com and the official app. Before the game, check out the best pictures of Jaden and Evan's first Arsenal training session with our gallery below, captured by club photographer David Price. But what do these players' journeys tell us about the Arsenal Academy? And how will they fit into the team? We'll leave those questions for you to ponder. Now, let the discussion begin!
