Arsenal should keep Dowman in the squad on a permanent basis

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is being urged to give 16-year-old Max Dowman more regular game time. The young player drew attention by being named man of the match in the latest Carabao Cup round against Ipswich Town, and he is among the players expected to feature in a creative role against Fleetwood Town.

Dowman has been largely kept on the sidelines this season. Bukayo Saka's injury, however, has opened the door for the young player to pull on the shirt regularly. According to the writer, Dowman is not just a rotation option but someone who can compete for a starting place alongside Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze.

The report also refers to the case of Lamine Yamal. Barcelona and the Spanish national team promoted Yamal without hesitation. The writer asks whether a similar approach is needed for Dowman.

The bulletin also covers the Bradford City against Peterborough United match. Robbie Savage left National League side Forest Green Rovers in October to take charge of struggling League One club Peterborough United. Savage has collected five points from his first four matches and is trying to steady the team.
