Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has addressed the future of 16-year-old talent Max Dowman. The club currently prefers the youngster to remain with the senior squad to continue his development under the guidance of the coaching staff.
We haven't considered the loan possibility yet because we were very clear that we wanted him in the squad and to be part of the pre-season preparation. We will assess the situation every six months and decide what is best for him. Mikel Arteta
Arteta emphasized that future decisions will depend on several factors, including the player's development, the team's needs, and the availability of playing time. Despite reported interest from clubs like Luton Town, the priority for the Gunners remains integrating the player into the current setup following his impressive brace against Ipswich in the League Cup.
