Terms agreed: Arsenal star rejects five clubs to commit to new Gunners deal | OneFootball

Arsenal wonderkid Max Dowman has reportedly rejected offers from five other clubs to agree personal terms on a new contract with the Gunners.

The talented 15-year-old looks like one of the brightest prospects in Europe at the moment, having already made five first-team appearances for Arsenal after rising up through their academy.

Dowman’s immense potential has already seen him compared to Brazil great Kaka (as per football.london) and he follows other top talents such as Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly from the Arsenal youth team into the senior side.

Mikel Arteta has previously heaped praise onto Dowman for already looking ready to play for the club’s first-team despite his young age.

“If we looked at his passport every day, we would never play him – simple as that. But when you look at what he does in training, you have to play him. If not, you are blind, or I’m blind,” Arteta said, as quoted by BBC Sport.

“I don’t mean to compare, but his style and way of playing is like Lamine Yamal. His movements are Lamine-esque,” Mosquera told the Athletic.

“I didn’t have him on my radar and when I got to Singapore, he was already training and playing. When they told me he was 15, I couldn’t believe it. He really is an incredible player, and I think he’s going to be world-class.”
