Ryan Giggs is the Premier League’s mosts successful player with 13 titles (Photo: Getty) David Seaman says Arsenal have their own Ryan Giggs as he backs the ‘talented’ Gunners star to have a big season. Arsenal face Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday before kicking-off their Premier League title defence next Friday against Coventry City. It will be curious to see what line-up Mikel Arteta selects against the Citizens, with several key stars only returning to training in the last few days following their exploits at the World Cup. There is potential for a few youngsters to make the starting XI, including Max Dowman who is the subject of my hype and attention after a record-breaking 2025/26 season.

Dowman became the youngest player in Champions League history at just 15 years and 308 days old and later the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history and youngest Premier League champion. The teenager has already made 13 first-team appearances and is expected to play a bigger role for the Gunners this campaign having featured heavily during pre-season. ‘He’s top, he really is top,’ legendary former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman, who worked with Dowman in the Gunners academy, told talkSPORT. Max Dowman made his Arsenal debut last season aged 15 years and 235 days (Photo: Getty) ‘He came through with us and then all last season he trained with the first-team. When you see him off the pitch he looks like a 16-year-old, but when you see him on the pitch he looks like a man that’s been there for a long time with a lot of talent. ‘I remember Bryan Robson telling me about Ryan Giggs when he was young and coming through. In Max – so long as he can stay away from injuries – we’ve got somebody that’s just as good as that.’ The Premier League’s most successful player, Giggs won 13 top-flight titles with Manchester United, as well two Champions Leagues and four FA Cups, across a remarkable 23-year career. Dowman is the youngest ever Premier League champion and goalscorer (Photo: Getty) That’s a lot to live up to, but the future does seem very bright for Arsenal thanks to the emergence of Dowman and fellow academy graduates Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri. But there is speculation that the latter could be leaving the Emirates before deadline day, with reports claiming that Arsenal have offered Lewis-Skelly to Manchester United and Chelsea. Seaman cannot believe that is true however and in any case is certain that the midfielder would not want to leave, adding: ‘I don’t think he wants to go. Reports suggest Arsenal are open to selling Myles Lewis-Skelly (Photo: Getty) ‘You see how much passion he’s got for the club. He’s been at the club since he was eight, he’s a boyhood fan. Nobody wants to see him leave. ‘I’ve been coaching at Arsenal now for about four or five years with the under 18s and under 21s and I remember watching him coming through the ranks with Nwaneri and Max Dowman. ‘Watching these guys train and then in the restaurant afterwards, they got their school uniform on because they went back to school! It was just so strange! ‘So, they’ve been at the club for a long, long time and I still think Mikel’s got a lot of trust in him. Obviously, he has because he put him in the Champions League final. ‘It was a massive game for us and he trusted him then and he was probably the best player for Arsenal.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Prit: Aston Villa needed to address weaknesses in the defence last season. Not only do we need to keep hold of him, we need a solid centre-back next to him - so absolutely no, we cannot afford to lose Konsa. Defence has been the weak link in this Villa team recently, so to lose potentially our best defender would be a sad day for the club.
