Max Dowman

Max Dowman showed off his incredible talent during our 2025 pre-season tour in Singapore and Hong Kong, featuring in all three matches.

The exciting winger flourished in the under-18s in 2024/25, netting 15 goals in 15 league appearances. He also showcased his skills in our FA Youth Cup clash against Manchester United at Emirates Stadium, beating multiple players before winning a penalty.

Having developed his skills at Hale End, Max made his debut for Arsenal under-18s at 13, coming on as a substitute against Southampton in September 2023.

During our pre-season matches, Max won a penalty against both Newcastle United and Villarreal.

In August 2025, Max came on as a substitute against Leeds United in the Premier League, becoming the second youngest player to feature in the competition's history. He won a penalty which was converted by Viktor Gyokeres.

A month later, Max became the youngest starter in our history when he lined up against Brighton in the Carabao Cup fourth round.
