US EditionMikel Arteta Believes Max Dowman’s Exuberance Can Help Inspire Arsenal
Arteta sees Dowman’s energy as a key boost for Arsenal’s Champions League push while managing his development carefully at 16 years old.
- On Tuesday, Mikel Arteta must decide whether to include 16-year-old Max Dowman in Arsenal's Champions League round-of-16 second leg against Bayer Leverkusen at Emirates Stadium.
- Arteta uses a "cook slowly" approach for developing young players and is cautious about burdening Dowman with hype, yet believes the forward's energy can lift Arsenal ahead of Sunday's Carabao Cup final.

- Arteta warned the squad must "elevate your game to a different level" to progress, saying Dowman's "flow and enthusiasm" sets an inspiring example for teammates in high-stakes competition.
