Arsenal prodigy's life changed dramatically.

Max Dowman, a promising young talent from Arsenal's academy, has signed a pre-contract agreement with the club to significantly improve his income.

Dowman is one of Arsenal's most promising players.

On January 30th, Arsenal announced that Dowman had committed his future to the club. This agreement will lead to the Arsenal prodigy signing a professional contract when he turns 17 in December, resulting in a salary increase of tenfold.

According to The Times , Dowman currently has the lowest salary in Arsenal's first-team wage bill this season, a modest £350 per week. This is far less than the top earner, Bukayo Saka, who makes £345,000 per week.

The nearly 1,000-fold difference in earnings between the two players illustrates the harsh realities of professional football. Dowman is one of Arsenal's most promising players, but receives only a modest sum due to his academy contract.

This is similar to other young talents in England. According to regulations in England, clubs are not allowed to sign professional contracts until a player is 17 years old, and this requires written consent from a parent or legal guardian.

Dowman will turn 17 in December 2026, so the young Arsenal talent will have a salary commensurate with his abilities when he signs a professional contract with the Emirates Stadium club. Reports indicate Arsenal are expected to pay Dowman no less than £15,000 per week, more than 42 times his previous income.

At the age of 16, Dowman made a strong impression. Last August, Dowman made history by becoming the second youngest player ever to appear in the Premier League. By November 2025, the young talent born in 2009 will make history in the Champions League by becoming the youngest player ever to compete in the tournament.
