"Dowman, who in November became the youngest player to play in the Champions League at 15 years and 308 days, has signed a pre-agreement for his first professional contract when he turns 17 in December. It is understood several clubs were interested in the England Under-19s forward but there was never real doubt over whether the player who joined Arsenal aged six would stay."
"Certainly one of the best, he said. What he's done with us at the age of 15, me personally, I haven't seen it before. Only with a guy that used to play in Barcelona but maybe not even that. He has a certain charisma as well and personality that he doesn't get overwhelmed, whether it's by the situation or the stadium or the opposition, and that's a huge quality to have. Now it's down to him and us to build an amazing career with him."
Max Dowman has committed his future to Arsenal by signing a pre-agreement for his first professional contract, to take effect when he turns 17 in December. Dowman became the youngest player to appear in the Champions League at 15 years and 308 days and is the youngest starter for Arsenal. Several clubs showed interest but Dowman, who joined Arsenal at age six, remained set to stay. Mikel Arteta compared Dowman to a young Barcelona player, praising his charisma and composure. Dowman has been sidelined since mid-December with an ankle injury and is unlikely to feature against Leeds. Arteta urged Premier League matchday squads be extended to 23 to protect players’ mental health and squad management.
