Jack Wilshere, the former Arsenal star, has tried to loan Max Daumen, one of Arsenal's bright talents, to Luton Town. However, Mikel Arteta, the head coach of Arsenal, has blocked the exit of this talented young player.
Significant Progress of Max Daumen
Max Daumen, recognized as one of the most promising talents in European football, helped Arsenal become Premier League champions last season by scoring a stunning goal against Everton. The 16-year-old player recently scored two goals in his team's Carabao Cup victory against Ipswich, demonstrating his high capabilities on the football field.

Wilshere's Efforts and Arteta's Reaction
Mick Harford, the head of recruitment at Luton, stated that Wilshere has requested Arteta several times to send Daumen on loan to Luton, but Arteta is unwilling to do so. Harford, a former English striker, pointed out that Daumen should be more regularly included in the starting lineup due to his abilities. He said: "I believe that if you are ready, it doesn't matter how old you are. If you are good enough, you will play, and I am sure he will become a superstar in the near future."
Wilshere, who is working as Luton’s manager, has had a similar experience at Arsenal. He emerged as a young player from Arsenal's academy in 2008 and went on to win two FA Cup titles with Arsenal and earn 34 caps for England.
Arteta praised Daumen after his brilliant performance against Ipswich, stating that his presence in the team is a great blessing. However, he also emphasized that careful work must be done with this young player so that he can handle the pressures of the Premier League.
The Arsenal head coach added: "Daumen is only 16 years old, and that age is very rare in our league. We must ensure that every time we send him onto the pitch, he is in the right condition and fully prepared. This will help us keep him at a high level and utilize him effectively."
Arsenal currently boasts a 100% record this season, achieving their eighth consecutive victory in all competitions and will soon face Brighton.
