The way he plays with his amazing skill ball control and how he sees the game makes people think of another Arsenal youth player Ethan Nwaneri. Arsenal really wants him to grow as a player but also wants him to have fun which shows how much they care about young players.
Mikel Arteta’s Vision for Youth Development
Mikel Arteta, who manages Arsenal knows a lot about tactics and really likes giving young players a chance in the first team. The way he does things has helped players like Max Dowman get their chance. Since Arteta’s been in charge Arsenal has started getting lots of young exciting players who are good with the ball and know how to play the right way.
This focus on helping young players get better isn’t just in the men’s team but you can see it in the Arsenal Women’s team too where Renée Slegers is doing a great job.

Having Max Dowman train with the first team really shows how much Arsenal cares about young players. You can see this everywhere in the club even in the women’s team which has done really well and made it to the Champions League knockout stages.
As Arsenal gets ready for games coming up like against Nottingham Forest young players are really important. The way the team is changing and helping players like Dowman could really help them do better in matches.
