Arsenal are reported to have secured the long-term future of teenage midfielder Max Dowman, who made his debut for the Gunners in August, aged just 15.
Dowman recently became the second youngest player in Arsenal history, behind only current teammate Ethan Nwaneri, having earlier joined the first-team squad during preseason.
But due to his age—unable to sign a contract in the same way as a senior pro would—Dowman’s future has been vulnerable. In theory, he could have left at any point for another club, which is not an uncommon practice in academy football.
has reported that, despite interest from “many of the world’s leading teams”, Dowman is “determined” to continue his career with Arsenal instead. The youngster comes from a family of Gunners fans and talks over the next step were handled by his father.
