Arsenal are building a squad deep enough to challenge on all four trophy fronts this season.

Arsenal’s injury crisis last season cost them in their pursuit of glory and it appears that the club are determined to not let history repeat itself.

Despite injuries to Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard already this campaign, Mikel Arteta now has an array of options to replace the key duo.

Eberechi Eze could be in line for his Arsenal debut in the upcoming clash at Anfield but the Gunners have been told they have another star who is unlike anything else in footballing history.

Leroy Rosenior has ‘never seen anything like’ Max Dowman

Speaking to Stan Sport, former West Ham midfielder Leroy Rosenior has stated that he has never seen anything like the talent of Max Dowman.

Theo Walcott thinks Dowman reminds him of Lionel Messi and Rosenior believes that he could be a difference-maker in Arsenal’s quest for a trophy this campaign.

Rosenior stated: “Max Dowman could be one who comes to the fore. He’s 15 years old, it’s just unbelievable.

“I have never seen anything like it. There aren’t many players who can take to this stage like this young man has and look so comfortable and so good.”

Arsenal fans lauded Dowman after the 15-year-old made his Premier League debut against Leeds United and won a late penalty for Viktor Gyokeres to convert.

With Saka absent for up to a month, Dowman could see further opportunities to impress and cement his place in the Gunners’ first-team squad moving forward.

Could we see parallels between Max Dowman and Ethan Nwaneri this season?

Dowman’s emergence into the first-team has quickly brought about comparisons with fellow Hale End star Ethan Nwaneri.

Nwaneri is expected to replace Odegaard in the starting line-up at Anfield and take on the burden of being Arsenal’s creative force for a huge clash in the title race.

However, Nwaneri had to be patient to earn his chance in Arteta’s side. The 18-year-old could have been thrown into the action early last season when the Norwegian picked up an ankle injury on international duty.

Arteta bided his time with Nwaneri and eventually blended him into the side during Carabao Cup games and substitute appearances in the Premier League.

Before the end of the season, Nwaneri was starting in Champions League knockout games, meaning that Dowman will have to be patient over the next couple of years.
