Mikel Arteta has tipped Max Dowman to be the next Arsenal teenager who can break into the first team and described the 15-year-old as a “big, big talent”.

Dowman has been training with Arsenal’s first team for several months and was part of the group that went to Dubai in February for a warm weather camp. He became the youngest goalscorer in the history of the Uefa Youth League in September at the age of 14 years, eight months and 19 days and also starred for Arsenal’s under-18s in their run to the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup.
