Arsenal

Born in Derby, Mavididi began his career at Southend United before joining Arsenal at the age of 13. He turned professional with Arsenal in July 2015.

Mavididi joined Charlton Athletic on loan on 31 January 2017 until the end of the season. However, following an injury in his fifth game for the club, he returned to Arsenal on 1 March 2017, having made three starts and two substitute appearances.

He signed on loan for Preston North End in August 2017.

Juventus

After eight years with Arsenal, in August 2018, he signed for Italian club Juventus. He was initially signed as a reserve player, having been scouted by Giorgio Chiellini's brother, but soon began training with the first team. On 13 April 2019, Mavididi made his senior Juventus debut in a 2–1 away loss against S.P.A.L. in Serie A. In doing so he became the first English player since David Platt in 1992 to play for Juventus. Juventus won the Serie A title in his first season, but Mavididi did not receive a winner's medal as he had not played in enough matches. Shortly after the championship title was confirmed, Mavididi learned that his father had died.

On 29 August 2019, he joined French club Dijon on loan.
