Arsenal fans have been full of praise for Max Dowman this season, as he continues to stamp his mark on the senior team.

Despite being just 15 years old, the youngster has shown plenty of raw talent and ability in his appearances so far.

Naturally, there has been plenty of focus on him as a result, including all eyes on his performances on the international stage.

Max Dowman played well for the England under-19s in their most recent match against Lithuania, winning a penalty in the process.

However, he isn’t the only Arsenal academy star who is shining on the international stage, as Demiane Agustien has starred too.

Arsenal youngster Demiane Agustien scores for the Netherlands under-19s

Demiane Agustien has featured in senior training this season, with the young attacking midfielder looking to make an impression at Arsenal.

The 18-year-old joined in the summer on a free transfer from Derby County and has already featured several times for the under-21s and under-19s.

While he continues his progression through the youth ranks, Agustien is looking to make his mark at all levels.

That includes on the international stage, as the midfielder received a call-up for the Netherlands under-19s.

He featured in a clash against Cyprus in the European Championship qualifiers, playing his part in a 7-0 thrashing.

Agustien scored the second goal of the game, combining with Barcelona’s Shane Kluivert, the son of the legendary Patrick Kluivert.

There are yet more opportunities for the 18-year-old to shine, with two more games before the end of the international break.

Next up is Kazakhstan on Saturday, before taking on Ireland on the following Tuesday, though it remains to be seen how many minutes Agustien will feature for.

Which Arsenal academy stars are on international duty

It’s not just Agustien or Max Dowman who are on international duty over the coming weeks of the international break.

Ethan Nwaneri and Tommy Setford are with the England under-21s, as they join up with Lee Carsley’s side once again for European Championship qualifiers.

Khari Ranson is with Dowman on duty for the England under-19s, while Callan Hamill is with the Scotland under-19s.

Ceadach O’Neill is also in action for the Northern Ireland under-19s, following his first call-up with the under-21s last international break.

Every star will be aiming to make their own impact with their national teams before returning to action at Arsenal.
