Arsenal legend Martin Keown has said that he believes Max Dowman is ready for a breakthrough campaign in Mikel Arteta’s first team. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that the youngster is developing well ahead of schedule, Keown stated that he expects Dowman to play a significant role in north London this season.
Martin added that he is looking forward to enjoying watching Max play football when the EPL resumes.
His words, “He’s 16 years of age. It’s already an incredible story. He’s already ahead of schedule.
This season might be the one. We saw those two great moments in the Everton match. That puts him down in history now. The youngest player in the Premier League to score a goal. How important was that? He’s going to play a big part. Hopefully this is the breakthrough year, but maybe it’s early. But nonetheless, I’m going to enjoy watching him when he plays.
You know, when you win the Premier League, of course everybody wants to beat the champions. There’s been pressure on Arsenal over the years.
The narrative was that they had blown it, had bottled it. I think now they can enjoy being champions and take that into the game. It gives you that extra air of confidence and belief. So, no, you can’t worry about that. Just go and win your games, and hopefully you’re better than the rest.”
