A midfielder who brings much energy to his team, Gower was rewarded with a professional contract after impressing for Arsenal U18s. He was then named on the bench for the first-team in a friendly against Watford.

The Hale End product played a significant part in the club’s FA Youth Cup run as he started five of the six games, while he also produced some encouraging displays in the league. He previously scored on his debut for the U18s against Reading in 2021 when he was a schoolboy.

Furthermore, Gower made his Premier League 2 debut for the U21s away to Blackburn Rovers last season.

Now a fully-fledged member of the U21 squad, Gower will be looking to push on further and make a major impact at that level.
