OM shakes up the transfer window for nugget Max Dowman


The future of English nugget Max Dowman is already at the heart of discussions at Arsenal, who want to avoid sending their attacker into a trap after the catastrophic loan of Ethan Nwaneri to OM.

At just 16 years old, young English winger Max Dowman scored his first Premier League goal on March 14 against Everton. The Chelmsford native was not particularly included in Mikel Arteta’s plans at the start of the season. But a few absences finally gave Dowman his chance and the England U19 international took advantage. Among the Gunners, we are already wondering how to approach the future with a player who is both so promising… but above all so young. At only 16 years old, Max Dowman will not yet have the shoulders to be a starter at Arsenal next season. The best option would certainly be to loan him to a lower club so that the 1m83 winger gets significant playing time.

Arsenal traumatized by Nwaneri’s loan to OM

However, London management has been greatly hampered by the cataclysmic loan that its attacking midfielder Ethan Nwaneri is experiencing. Which changes the club’s thinking about Max Dowman. “I think Arteta needs to learn from the Ethan Nwaneri situation. He was, and remains, a very promising player, but he was unable to get playing time at Arsenal. It was a difficult decision for Arsenal to loan him out, and I think they made a mistake sending him to France to Marseille where it didn’t work out. says Mick Brown, former Manchester United recruiter, in an interview with Football Insider.

“Nwaneri came into the Arsenal team as a substitute on several occasions, but he was never good enough to be a starter. He needed game time, eventually went out on loan and now it’s a tough time for him there. For Dowman, Arsenal must ask themselves how to avoid making the same mistakes. How can they allow him to play more regularly to promote his development? It’s so difficult in football to manage players of this age who are very promising talents, when you already have players in their position.” believes the former Red Devils recruiter. With the very complicated loan that Ethan Nwaneri is currently experiencing at OM, the Max Dowman case pushes Arsenal to think more deeply. One thing is certain in any case, the Gunners will not send their English nugget to Marseille next summer.
