Arsenal's Max Dowman impresses England Under-17s team

Declan Rice, a star player for Arsenal and England, has praised 15-year-old Max Dowman from the Arsenal academy. Rice believes Dowman is the top 15-year-old player in the country after seeing him excel in recent games. Dowman played against the Northern Ireland Under-17s, despite being two years younger than many competitors. During the match, he showcased his skills by scoring a beautiful goal. He dribbled past multiple defenders before sliding the ball into the net. This performance highlights his growing reputation as a future star. At just 13 years old, Dowman played for Arsenal's Under-18s. He scored in the UEFA Youth League at 14 and started training with the first team this season. There had been discussions about promoting him to the senior squad due to injuries, but it seems he may have to wait for his debut. Rice emphasized the importance of hard work and staying focused. He pointed out that although Dowman is a standout talent now, success at a young age doesn't guarantee future success. Dowman has a supportive family and is determined to continue improving. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has already brought up other young talents this season. Many believe Dowman could be the next player to make the jump to the first team.
