Key Information

Early life

[edit]

Max Robert Dowman was born on 31 December 2009 in Chelmsford, Essex.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Dowman joined the youth academy of Arsenal in 2015,[3] following time in the youth set-up at Billericay Town.[4] He started playing with their Arsenal U18s in September 2023 at the age of 13.[5][6] On 19 September 2024, Dowman scored in the Arsenal U19's UEFA Youth League match against Atalanta at the age of 14 years, eight months, and 19 days. He therefore became the youngest goal-scorer in the competition's history.[7][8][9] In December 2024, after becoming the youngest ever Premier League 2 player at 14 years old,[10] he began training with the first team,[11] with the intention to become part of the first-team squad during the 2025–26 season.[citation needed]

On 23 July 2025, he made his first team debut in a pre-season friendly against AC Milan aged 15 years old.[12] On 23 August, Dowman made his Premier League debut, coming on as a substitute for Arsenal in the 64th minute of their match against Leeds United, becoming the second youngest player in the league's history at 15 years and 235 days, behind only his teammate, Ethan Nwaneri.[13] He won a penalty for his team in the third minute of stoppage time, helping Arsenal score their fifth goal in a 5–0 victory over Leeds United.[14] Owing to his age, he is obliged to be chaperoned whilst with the team and is not allowed to change in the main dressing room under FA safeguarding regulations.[15]

International career

[edit]

Dowman made his England U16 and England U17 debuts in 2024.[16] He was included in the squad for the 2025 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[17] He featured as a starter in all three of England's games, including a 4–2 win against the Czech Republic, where he scored the opening goal.[18]

Style of play

[edit]

Comfortable playing in a number of positions, Dowman has been used as an attacking midfielder and as a traditional '10' for Arsenal's youth teams, but can also play as a right winger. He is skilful, energetic and naturally gifted in the final third and is able to cut defences with a precise and accurate pass.[6][19] Technically, Dowman's set-piece delivery stands out. He's already been entrusted with corner and free-kick duties at youth level.[20] Arsenal youth team coach Gustavo Oliveira labelled Dowman the "next Kaká".[21]
