National forward Kaheim Dixon is scheduled to get a physical today with English League One club Charlton Athletic, who have already begun the process of obtaining his work permit.
Arnett Gardens General Manager Peter Thelwell does not anticipate any difficulties for the 19-year-old because he completed a thorough medical before beginning playing for the club in last season’s Jamaica Premier League, and nothing strange was discovered during his examination.
“In order to play, he needed to pass our medical. He underwent a thorough medical examination. But, I’m not sure how strict their medical is, but he got cleared here. “We found no abnormalities,” Thelwell stated. “Sometimes when a player goes overseas, they detect problems with their heart and so on, but he has none of those. So we expect things to go smoothly.”
According to rumors in England, the club has already begun the application procedure for Dixon’s work visa, although it is unclear how long it will take for the permit to be issued. Charlton are hopeful there are no complications with the youngster acquiring a work permit, as the club believes his outings at the Copa America competition will aid his cause.
Thelwell is likewise sure that the player will overcome this challenge.
“I don’t believe Charlton would have sought him as hard as they did if they weren’t confident they could accomplish it. therefore I believe they believe they have a decent chance of obtaining him, therefore I’m not concerned,” Thelwell said.
The general manager of Arnett Gardens claimed the footballer was in good spirits when he left the island on Saturday, and the former Clarendon College standout was looking forward to the next chapter in his career.
He said that it would be excellent exposure for the club.
“It would be beneficial because we would receive a financial return. And it implies that the club will be perceived as one that nurtures and develops talent for the transfer market. We hope to attract young, talented, and high-quality players to the club. That is how we see things right now. “We want to attract young, talented players and prepare them for the transfer market,” Thelwell stated.
