Club career

Born in Westminster, John-Jules began his career with Charlton Athletic before joining Arsenal at the age of 8.[3] John-Jules made his debut for Arsenal under-23s against Arsenal's North London derby rivals Tottenham Hotspur and scored in the match.[4] He was a part of the Arsenal under-18s team that reached the final of the 2017-18 FA Youth Cup.[5] John-Jules turned professional in 2018 at Arsenal.[6]

In 2019, he played on Arsenal's pre-season tour of the United States after being selected for it by the Arsenal head coach Unai Emery.[7] Later in the year, he started to train with the Arsenal first team squad at the request of Arsenal under-23s manager and then acting first team coach, Freddie Ljungberg.[3] He moved on loan to Lincoln City in January 2020.[8][9] The move was done by the Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta in order for John-Jules to get first team football in his preferred 9 position.[10] He made his Lincoln City debut against Shrewsbury Town.[10] The Lincoln City manager Michael Appleton praised John-Jules and stated he could see him starting in Arsenal's first team in the future.[11] He scored his first Football League goal against Blackpool in his next match.[12] He was injured and ruled out for the rest of the season in March 2020.[13] He subsequently returned to his parent club.[14]
