Mikel Arteta responds to Lionel Messi’s bold Max Dowman prediction

Mikel Arteta has responded positively to Lionel Messi ’s prediction that Arsenal starlet Max Dowman is on the road to greatness. The 16-year-old is already firmly established as part of the Premier League champions’ first team squad and is pushing to be included on a more regular basis. Dowman’s only start so far this season came in a convincing 4-2 Carabao Cup victory against Ipswich during which he underlined his burgeoning talent with two goals in a man of the match display.
