Arteta explains the plan behind two new Arsenal signings

Mikel Arteta says he has high hopes for new Arsenal signings Jaden Dixon and Evan Mooney after bringing in the duo late on in the January transfer window.

Defender Dixon has joined from Stoke City, while attacker Mooney has arrived from Scottish club St Mirren.

Both 18, the duo will go into Arsenal’s youth side and Arteta says bringing in the pair while still young gives the club an advantage in terms of their development.

“Yes, it is obviously part of the plan and we need to continue to reinforce because that’s the best way,” Arteta explained.

“When we bring them early and when we know their characters and the pathway is clear and they’ve been with us in different ways, I think it makes that jump much easier.

“So we will continue to try to do that and if they can be around the team in the right moments, they will be.”
