Dowman's salary is 1,000 times less than Saka's. |
According to The Times, Dowman received the lowest salary in the Arsenal first team salary table this season, Dowman received the lowest salary, less than the leader Bukayo Saka with 345,000 pounds/week. The difference of nearly 1,000 times the income between the two players shows the harshness of professional football.
Dowman is one of Arsenal's most promising players, but earns a modest salary due to his academy contract. This is similar to other young talents in England. At the age of 16, Liverpool prodigy Rio Ngumoha was paid just £1,200 a month (£52,000 a year), equivalent to the maximum basic salary Liverpool apply to young players.
After turning 17 in September, Ngumoha officially signed his first professional contract with Liverpool, a 3-year contract, with a salary increase of 25 times, around 29,000 pounds/week. This is a worthy reward for Ngumoha thanks to his impressive performance in the first team.
Under UK law, clubs are not allowed to sign professional contracts until a player turns 17, and must have written consent from a parent or legal guardian. Dowman will turn 16 in December, so the Arsenal youngster will be on a modest salary until December 2026.
At the age of 15, Dowman has made a strong impression. In August, Dowman made history by becoming the second youngest player ever to play in the Premier League. If he continues to maintain his form, the young talent born in 2009 will break many more records in European and world football.
