""Certainly one of the best," said Arteta. "What he's done with us at the age of 15. Me personally, I haven't seen it before. Only with a guy who used to play in Barcelona, but maybe not even that. He certainly has not only that - he has a certain charisma as well and personality that he doesn't get overwhelmed, whether it's by the situation, or the stadium or the opposition, and that's a huge quality to have.""
""It's a proud moment to see him yesterday signing that deal in front of his family and his loved ones. Big credit to everybody that's been involved in that journey with him, to bring him all the way to the first team and especially the manner that they've done it. Now we have an amazing talent that, day-by-day, I think we need to shape because there's so much there.""
Max Dowman has signed a pre-contract with Arsenal and will sign a professional contract when he turns 17 on December 31. He can play as an attacking midfielder or on the wing and joined Arsenal's academy at age eight. He has made five senior appearances and became the club's second youngest player, although an ankle injury has hindered his progress this season. Mikel Arteta compared Dowman's early development to that of a Barcelona graduate and praised his charisma, personality and composure. The club credited Hale End coaches for his pathway and described a commitment to shape his abundant talent.
