Arteta Now Ready to Promote Arsenal’s ‘Best Ever’ Academy Star to First-Team

Mikel Arteta is ready to turn to Arsenal academy starlet Max Dowman and hand the English wonderkid a spot on his first-team bench before the season ends to start bedding him into his senior setup at the Emirates, according to The Daily Mail.

Dowman is the latest Hale End talent on the cusp of Arteta’s squad amid stellar showings at youth level, and the Gunners boss continues to use the club’s academy to bolster his squad. Myles Lewis-Skelly, 18, and Ethan Nwaneri, 17, are now fully established members of the first team at the Emirates after making the step-up over the past year.

Arsenal are renowned for their youth development, and Arteta’s current crop is brimming with teenage talents in all departments, but the Spaniard could do with Dowman’s versatility. The England U17 international excels as an attacking midfielder but can also play on the wing and in a central midfield role.
