Arsenal have reportedly confirmed that youngster Max Dowman has committed his future to the club by agreeing to a pre-contract agreement.
The club made a statement on their official website: “We are pleased to announce that Max Dowman has signed a pre-contract agreement with the club that will lead to him signing professional terms when he turns 17 in December.
“Max joined our academy at the age of eight and quickly broke records at youth level as he progressed through Hale End, making his under-18 debut aged just 13 and becoming the UEFA Youth League’s youngest scorer at the age of 14.
“He is equally adept as an attacking midfielder or winger, with his technical ability, vision and versatility making him one of England’s most exciting young prospects.

“It’s amazing to have role models so close that have experienced the same thing that I have. I’m now so excited to continue to work hard with my development.”
