Archie James Stevens (born 11 January 2006) is an English footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Arsenal.

Club career

In 2022, Stevens signed for Scottish side Rangers.[1] On 30 August 2022 he made his club debut at the age of sixteen as a substitute in the Scottish League Cup against Queen of the South.[2] He was described as "handed his debut in the cup win over Queen of the South... followed by a frustrating spell on the sidelines as Stevens saw his progress at Auchenhowie stall during his first season".[1] He scored for the club during the 2023 Scottish Youth Cup final.[3]

On 31 January 2025, Stevens joined Scottish Championship side Dunfermline Athletic on loan until the end of the season.[4] In May 2025, Stevens was released by Rangers after failing to agree a contract extension.[5]

On 15 September 2025, Arsenal announced the signing of Stevens for the under-21s after a successful trial.[6]

International career

Stevens was included in the England under-17 squad for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup and made his only appearance of the tournament as a substitute in a group stage defeat against Brazil.[7] He was described as "showing great promise".[8]

Style of play

Stevens mainly operates as a winger. He has been described as "a very attack-minded player, [whose] stronger position is on the right" and "also more than capable of playing as a 10".[9]

Personal life

Stevens is the son of Sarah Stevens.[9]
