Arsenal wonderkid playing four years above his age as Mikel Arteta gets Bukayo Saka reminder

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been reminded of the incredible talent in his academy after teenage player Max Dowman shone for the Under-18s on Saturday, playing four years above his age group. The 14-year-old has played with older age groups several times this season and he is quickly moving up through the England youth ranks.

Players like Gunners and England star Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah have successfully moved from Arsenal's academy to the first team in recent years. And there are many more working hard behind the scenes hoping to do the same.
