Max Dowman, the 15-year-old training with Arsenal's stars: Rival clubs circling the record-breaker who plays like Martin Odegaard and is tipped for first-team action THIS SEASON, as Mikel Arteta tries
Daily MailWhen it comes to identifying the future stars at Arsenal, or any academy across the country, perspective matters. Max Dowman - who is still only 15 - is being tipped for big things at Arsenal after already making his Under 21 debut Academies from across the Premier League have been quick to register interest in Dowman The youngster has been tipped to break into Mikel Arteta's senior squad by Rio Ferdinand Mail Sport understands that multiple Premier League academies have approached Dowman’s father to register their interest his son. Chido Obi-Martin left Arsenal for Manchester United over the summer despite the Gunners' best efforts to keep him The teenager, who has barely started studying for his GCSEs, has been capped by England's Under 17s There is a clear similarity with the playing style of Arsenal's senior captain Martin Odegaard Against Sporting Lisbon's Under 19s in November, the youngster played in a right midfield in the 3-0 defeat and was confident taking players on as well as threading passes through the backline. Dowman has already trained with the first team and could make the bench before the end of the season Dowman turned 15 on New Year's Eve and cannot sign a scholarship at Arsenal until before the 2026-27 season The versatile young midfielder played on the right of midfield in an Under 19s Uefa Youth League clash with Sporting Lisbon But in the clash with Atalanta's he was deployed in behind the central striker That has meant opportunities to get on the ball and drive forward at opponents have been hard to come by. Like Dowman, Charlie Patino - described as the best player to ever walk through the doors at Hale End - played for the Under 18s at 14 It would be a safe bet for Dowman being Arsenal's next academy player to become a star Sean O’Connor, head scout at the club, described him as the ‘best player who has ever walked through the doors at the Hale End academy’.
