Arsenal’s highly-touted 15-year-old midfielder, Max Dowman, will join the senior squad for the 2025-26 season, manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed.
Dowman, who turns 16 in December, has been training with the first team for months and will be part of the pre-season tour in Asia.
Arteta praised the “wonderkid,” who has drawn comparisons to Martin Odegaard, noting his impressive progress.
This move highlights Arsenal’s focus on developing young talent, following the paths of Bukayo Saka and Myles Lewis-Skelly.
