Mikel Arteta suggested that 15-year-old wonderkid Max Dowman is in his Arsenal squad plans for next season and could compete with Martin Odegaard for the attacking midfield spot.
Dowman has long been touted as the Gunners’ next big star to breakthrough from the academy after skipping age groups for fun and being heavily involved in first team training in this campaign.
In December, the teenager became the youngest-ever Arsenal player to play for the Under 21s, coming off the bench to face Brighton aged just 14. Just recently he scored 10 goals in his last four games for the Under 18s.
