People are already running out of positive words to say about Arsenal’s 15-year-old sensation Max Dowman.
So early into his career, Dowman is turning heads, being handed his Premier League debut by Mikel Arteta.
As well as being a valued member of the Arsenal first team squad, the teenager is also rising through the ranks at international level.
Despite being 15, Dowman is playing for England U19 and has made quite a statement over the September international break.

Scouts react to Max Dowman’s England U19 performance vs Spain U19
Dowman was unstoppable against Spain U19, where he was tested against some of the brightest talent who were more than two years his senior.
Nothing seems to faze the Arsenal academy product, which is why Arteta is already able to place so much trust in him.
It’s not only those at Arsenal and England who are amazed by Dowman, as scouts present at England U19’s 3-3 draw with Spain U19 had a lot to say about the 2009-born starlet.
The Athletic compiled a piece reacting to Dowman’s performance in the match, where the publication caught up with some scouts who were at the game.
Scouts from AC Milan, Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United watched on, with feedback seeing Dowman compared to Lamine Yamal.
Upon speaking to the undisclosed scouts at the game, The Athletic relayed that ‘amazement’ was expressed about the 15-year-old’s quality.
It wasn’t the only thing that was understood about Dowman, as it became clear to those present that there is ‘little chance’ of the Hale End graduate being prised away from Arsenal by another club.
Dowman’s family are committed to Arsenal, and the club are committed to supporting the youngster through his tremendous rise in what is an incredibly exciting time.
The unspoken best thing about Max Dowman
It’s becoming impossible for Arsenal to keep the teenager under wraps, with Dowman actually one of Arteta’s most exciting attackers right now.
The teenager is putting some in the first team to shame, which is remarkable considering that nobody is talking about how Dowman isn’t even playing in his best position.
At Hale End, the 15-year-old is known to be an attacking midfielder, playing centrally; however, for England U19 and for Arteta’s side, he’s being used on the right wing.
It shows how dangerous Dowman is anywhere across the front line, being able to cause chaos to those way above his age range, even when away from his favourite role.
