Fierce battle for a wonderkid! Rangers face pressure from Premier League clubs

Scottish side Rangers risk losing the race for one of Arsenal's brightest rising stars.

Details: According to Football Insider, the Glasgow club faces fierce competition from representatives of English Premier League sides in their bid to sign the Gunners' 16-year-old midfielder Max Dowman on loan during the winter transfer window.

Arsenal's hierarchy are prepared to send the young talent out on a short-term loan to give him regular first-team experience. However, the London club will make a final decision only after the player officially signs his first professional contract with the capital side.

Several Premier League clubs' sudden interest in Dowman has significantly complicated Rangers' task, with the Scottish side initially hoping to wrap up the deal quickly.

Arsenal are extremely careful when it comes to the midfielder's development and intend to carefully assess all incoming offers before choosing the environment best suited to the player's progress.

It is worth noting that the 16-year-old midfielder is regarded as one of the biggest breakthroughs from the London club's academy in recent years. The respected Transfermarkt portal values the young talent at €50 million.
