Who is Khayon Edwards? Everything you need to know about the Arsenal academy striker from age to stats

Arsenal academy star Khayon Edwards is another impressive option coming through the youth ranks, looking to make an impact on the senior squad.

The forward has been at the club since the age of five in the pre-academy years, before eventually joining the youth ranks.

Edwards has since been scoring plenty in the under-18s and under-21s ranks before making a loan switch to Leyton Orient.

While still at Arsenal, the youngster has scored plenty of goals and will be looking to make an impact on the senior team soon enough.

So with that said, here’s a look at everything you need to know about Khayon Edwards.

What is Khayon Edwards’ age?

Khayon Edwards was born on September 12, 2003, which makes him 21 years old at the time of writing and still at the start of his career.

Khayon Edwards measures in at 1.80 metres tall – which converts to roughly five feet and 11 inches in height.

Throughout his early career so far, Khayon Edwards has largely featured as a centre-forward for the Arsenal academy.

Khayon Edwards is eligible to play for England – having been born and raised in Islington, London, throughout his life.

The striker can also feature for Jamaica through links in his family, though he is yet to represent either nation in the youth or senior ranks.

So far in his career, Khayon Edwards has made over 80 appearances in the youth ranks for both under-18s and under-21s.

In those appearances, he has managed over 80 goals with 15 assists to his name in that time, with the aim of adding a few more.

A senior loan to Leyton Orient didn’t go quite to plan as only seven appearances followed with no goal or assist registered.

A few appearances in the matchday squad for the Arsenal senior team have followed, though he still awaits his debut.
