The Arsenal academy ace has been tipped for big things in the future, with plenty of promise to show for the years ahead.

Such has been his impressive rise, Dowman has already featured in Arsenal’s first-team training under Mikel Arteta.

The 15-year-old will be aiming for his debut next season when he is eligible to feature for the senior side.

However, in the meantime, there will be a desire to keep improving and progressing through the ranks at both club level and international level.

Max Dowman bags assist for England U17s against Slovenia

After Dowman and Porter impressed for England under-17s in the opening European Championship qualification match, the pair were at it again in their second meeting.

The former of those was handed a start yet again as he teed up the opener in the match against Slovenia over the weekend.

A teasing cross from Dowman found the head of Brighton youngster Freddie Simmonds, who fired the Young Lions ahead in the encounter.

While Man City’s Ryan McAidoo doubled the lead, Slovenia managed to fire back two goals to bring the tie level.

England took the lead for the final time though, with Alejandro Rodriguez scoring yet again for the side.

Dowman played 64 minutes in the match before he was substituted, grabbing another goal contribution for himself.

With Northern Ireland up next on Tuesday, there is one more potential chance for the Arsenal gem to feature before returning to club action.

Jack Porter also featured during England U17s vs Slovenia

There was also a second start for Arsenal academy star Jack Porter, who played between the sticks yet again for his national side.

The goalkeeper kept a clean sheet in the first qualification match but was unable to do so this time around.

Two goals from Slovenia may have left the shot-stopper frustrated as he couldn’t build on the first match in the end.

However, his continued development has seen him face more opportunities in the team as he looks forward.

Porter has already made his Arsenal debut, with another appearance in his sights for the months and years ahead of him.
