Meet the best player to come by Hale End

Now that we have a certain distance from the disappointing loss against Liverpool, there are a lot to be optimistic for Arsenal this season.

For example, Mikel Arteta was important in summer in summer, with players like Viktor Gyokerres, Martin Zubimendi and Noni Madueke.

In addition, in addition to these new players, Hale End seems to have produced another superstar in the creation of the club in the Unreal Max Dowman.

The teenager already looks more than comfortable in the senior game and as if he had a brilliant future ahead of him, although there was another superstar of the academy which had to do great things and now was worth less than 1 million pounds sterling.

The rapid increase in Max Dowman

It would be just to say that, apart from the race for the Champions League, last season was one of the least pleasant campaigns that Arsenal fans had had for some time because it seemed that everything was bad.

However, the emergence of Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly was a real bright point, and yet, even if they burst into the first team, it was a question of an even more exciting perspective at the Academy-a 14-year-old who played far beyond his years.

It was, of course, Dowman, and when you take a look at his statistics from last season, it becomes easier to understand why those who know, like Jacek Kulig, went so far as to proclaim it as the “most exciting perspective” he had seen “from Lamine Yamal”.

For example, in just 23 appearances, totaling 1945 minutes, he put the ball at the back of the 19 net goals and provided five assists to make a good measure, which amounts to an average of 1.04 objective per game, or one every 81.04 minutes.

Numbers like these forced Arteta and Co to bring the young person during the pre-season tour this year, and for the first time, the fans could see why so many people are so excited for him, because he came out of the bench against Newcastle United and won a penalty in a short time.

However, the most important indication of the club’s height, the teenager is the fact that he is now a regular part of the team of the first team, and not only did he make his premier debut against Leeds United, but that the manager felt comfortable to support him in Anfield when the team needed a goal.

Overall, although it is still so early, media threshing around Dowman begins to feel justified, which has unfortunately never been the case with an old Hale Ender who now exercises his profession in Europe.

Dowman of Arsenal origin

Each year, there is a new set of exciting academic talents that have excited them, but sometimes there is more than that; There is an expectation, and even if Dowman seems to meet the expectations of fans of him, Charlie Patino could not meet the expectations of the people of him.

Although it seems a long time ago, the young person was expected by many of being the next great thing to emerge from Hale End.

For example, in October 2021, the former Gonderkid Gunners Jack Wilshere told the press that the young person “was going to make a name for himself in the future” and that he was “the one of whom everyone on the training field speaks”.

As if that was not enough, the scout of Arsenal Brian Stappleton said that Sean O’Connor, the scout who discovered Wilshere, told him that Patino was “the best player who ever crossed the doors to Hale End”.

Media threw was only fed when the young “gold”, as nicknamed by Talent Scout Jacek Kuligcame out of the bench to make his debut in competition for the club during a League Cup match against Sunderland in 2021 and scored.

With the regular football of the first team in the next stage, Arsenal sent its exciting Wonderkid to a number of loan spells, first to Blackpool and then to Swansea City.

However, although he did well during this period, a total of seven goals and eight assists in 72 games did not suggest that he was quite ready to play under Arteta, and therefore when the player’s camp clearly indicated that he wanted to leave, the Gunners were forced to accept a low £ of Deportivo La Coruna due to the lack of interest of other parts.

Unfortunately, things did not work for the 21 -year -old, because he only made 12 appearances in the past year, during which he failed to score or help a single goal.

Unsurprisingly, it has seen its evaluation reservoir, and according to TransferMarkt, the old next great thing is now worth € 600,000, which costs only £ 518,000.

In the end, although there is still a lot of time for Patino to forge a great career, it is probably sure to say that the overhaul and the pressure exerted on his shoulders were not justified.
