Arsenal’s Max Dowman Told To Leave Club Immediately

TalkSPORT presenter, Adrian Durham, has told Arsenal youngster Max Dowman to leave the Premier League North London club as soon as possible when the summer transfer window starts.

Durham fears Dowman’s career will stagnate under manager Mikel Arteta if he remains at the Emirates Stadium beyond this summer.

He argued that the 16-year-old’s future would be best served by continuing his education elsewhere, as he highlighted the career trajectory of Myles Lewis-Skelly under Arteta.

“Max Dowman needs to leave Arsenal as soon as possible,” Durham said as quoted by Metro UK.

“Dowman has seen Myles Lewis-Skelly’s career derailed by Mikel Arteta. He’s not even third choice left-back now – [Piero] Hincapie and [Riccardo] Calafiori ahead of him in a Wembley final.

“He was a midfielder in the youth team and got to a Youth Cup final in midfield.

“Even with [Martin] Zubimendi looking like a League One player, [Declan] Rice’s numbers are shocking, and [Mikel] Merino is injured. Lewis-Skelly isn’t going to get a look in there; he’s third choice left-back.

“So Max Dowman needs to take a look at these things and realise that he’s just another tick in Mikel Arteta’s box.”

Dowman was against Everton, scoring a late goal to seal Arsenal’s victory after Arteta featured him from the bench a few weeks ago.
