Arteta urges media to keep the temperature down on Dowman - Soccer News
"We need to bring the temperature down and understand what the best thing is for this boy at this age. He's doing something phenomenal, we all know that. Let's keep it down a little bit and respect the nature to do what he has to do - I'm sure he's going to do something really good."
"My way to express it is to give him game time. What else can I do? The rest is in your hands. Yes, very exciting. Enough!"
Sixteen-year-old Max Dowman made history by becoming the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history during Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Everton, surpassing James Vaughan's previous record from 2005. Dowman also contributed to Arsenal's opening goal through his cross that led to Viktor Gyokeres scoring. Despite playing only 46 minutes in the Premier League, media speculation has intensified, with suggestions of potential England World Cup selection and comparisons to Lionel Messi. Manager Mikel Arteta cautioned against excessive hype, emphasizing the importance of protecting the young player's development and maintaining perspective during this early stage of his career.
