Max Dowman signs professional deal with Arsenal.

Arsenal’s promising young talent, Max Dowman, has committed to signing a professional contract with the club once he reaches the age of 17.

The north London outfit formally announced this development across its official online platforms on Friday morning, with Dowman set to finalize his professional agreement in December.

This current season, Dowman has established multiple new club benchmarks, notably becoming the second-youngest individual to play for the club in the Premier League and the youngest ever to feature in the Champions League.

In an interview published on the team’s official site, Dowman expressed: “This signifies immense importance to both myself and my relatives. Our entire family backs Arsenal, and I truly sense a deep connection here. My gratitude extends to all my trainers, fellow players, and crucially, my family and companions, for their support in reaching my current position.”

He further added: “Having been with this organization my entire life, this moment holds profound significance. The progression route here is exceptionally well-defined, with academy graduates such as Bukayo, Myles, and Ethan serving as profound sources of inspiration. It’s truly remarkable to have mentors who are so accessible and have shared similar experiences. I am now incredibly enthusiastic about dedicating myself to the ongoing pursuit of my growth and improvement.”
