Jamaica’s Kaheim Dixon on verge of transfer to Charlton Athletic – report
Reggae Boy Kaheim Dixon is reportedly on the verge of inking a contract with south-east London club Charlton Athletic.
According to the South London Press, Charlton is “closing in on a transfer” for the “pacey 19-year-old winger” who represents Arnett Gardens Football Club in the Jamaica Premier League.
Nicknamed The Addicks, Charlton compete in EFL League One, the third level of the English football league system.
Dixon’s agent, Kevin Cowan, told the local media recently that a number of clubs from Belgium, Denmark, and Portugal as well as the US-based MLS, had stated their interest in the player.
“The expectation is that he’ll eventually transfer abroad during the summer but we’re still evaluating the different possibilities,” Cowan said.
If he transfers to Charlton, Dixon will join fellow Jamaican Karoy Anderson, a product of Charlton’s Academy, who made his international debut for Jamaica in 2023.
Other notable Jamaican internationals who have played for Charlton are Ricardo Fuller from 2012-2013 and Michael Hector who left the club in June.
Dixon made his senior international debut for Jamaica in March, in a Concacaf Nations League semi-final against the United States.
The Reggae Boy scored six goals in 13 appearances for Arnett Gardens in the Jamaica Premier League this season.
