Arteta: Arsenal wonderkid Dowman could go out on loan in the future
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has spoken publicly about the long-term development plan for highly-rated 16-year-old Max Dowman, suggesting that a temporary move away from the club could be part of the young midfielder's pathway. The comments come amid significant attention on Dowman, who has been tipped as one of the most exciting talents in the Arsenal academy. Arteta indicated that a loan spell could help accelerate his progress, though no immediate move is planned.
