Arsenal called a 14-year-old Max Dowman in their first-team training session before the Chelsea clash on Sunday.
A PRODIGY IN THE MAKING
Max Dorman, a young talent had attended Arsenal’s training ground. He won’t be taking any part in the incoming Chelsea clash.
Only 14 years of age, in the Arsenal u18s and u19s he has become a regular this season. He has made eight appearances between the u18 Premier League and the UEFA Youth League. This young lad is busy with all the England call-ups. Moreover, he went away with the u17s and scored two goals in three European Championship qualifiers towards the end of last month.
MAX DOWMAN’S FUTURE IN ARSENAL
It can be said that Arsenal will utilize this young talent Dowman in the future. Arsenal Academy is showing promise with these young talents. The Gunners have already started to make history in the UEFA Youth competition.
Many are thinking there will be a new process to be introduced. It can be true or not. But, the young players have to be able to compete on the main stage. After Bukayo Saka, many youngsters are in the making. The future might be looking interesting. The Gunners might have some new weapons in their arsenal.
Max Dowman could now be on the verge of beating the record of Nwaneri as the youngest debut. Presently, the Premier League campaign might be a little complicated for Arsenal. They might be still in the top five. But their inconsistency heavily cost them the league titles. Mikel Arteta’s process has been going on for quite a long period. But apparently, it is not helping them.
Dowman has quite a challenge in front of him if he gets called. The academy has more players up their sleeve. So, Dowman eventually will get his chance. Even the transfer talk is adding layer after layer to Arsenal’s strategy. The recent defeats may have been a problem for the Gunners. But the academy isn’t.
Max’s inclusion isn’t only for show. It’s all about talent and training for future fixtures. Jack Wilshere, formerly with Arsenal, has much faith in him.
Meanwhile, Declan Rice has joined the injury squad, still recovering from the broken toe. He has been missing the recent training sessions. Arteta is uncertain about his availability for the Chelsea match.
LONG TERM PLANS?
The Gunners are trying to implement a long-term plan. With transfers and years to come, youth integration become handy. If the youngsters, especially Dowman can manifest their talents according to the fans, things may look good for them. Finally, if the process turns out, maybe in the next decade, Arsenal might be a good contender for the Premier League.
Amid the tension, Arteta is still showing remarkable calmness. They are trying to understand the mentality before the clash. The London derby will be the moral and mind games. This will prove the Gunners not only their condition but also their morals.
The sense of hope can still be paired with urgency. A mixture is reflected through Rice’s statements as well as Arteta’s quotes. Meanwhile, supporters are still hoping for another triumph at the London Derby. This win could upvote their morals. Overall, Arsenal has a long-term plan with the youngsters and also with the current squad. Time will say what awaits them, in the premier league and the coming years.
Max Dowman and the other young lads have a lot of work to do. If Arsenal wants to win something, they have to make use of the players. The London derby will also prove what awaits them. Now that Manchester City is having a poor season, they have a golden opportunity to turn this around.
