Max Dowman creates the type of excitement when Wayne Rooney falls into the scene – but it is still a long way to go.
This is after arsenal Legend Ray SalonWho had the chance to lead the rule over the 15-year-old rising star this summer.

So far, Dowman has massively attracted attention in the pre-season and celebrated his senior debut for the club against AC Milan.
Then, against the rivals of Premier League, Newcastle, he won a penalty in a 3-2 victory, at a performance that Mikel Areteta described as a “special” before winning another spot kick during the recent defeat against Villarreal.
Dowman, who was moved into the training of the first team at the age of 14, was described by Declan Rice as “the best 15-year-old in the country”.
According to Simon Jordan von Talksport, the playmaker could be on the way to becoming a world creator in football like Lamine Yamal.
Parlor was in Singapore for Arsenal’s opening forecast before the season and was put together alongside Dowman after his debut.
‘The Romford Pele’ remembered her exchange and said to Talksport:
“Do you know what he said to me? He said: ‘Well, I could have cut off a little better in certain parts of the game.’
“I went: ‘Wait a minute, Max. You are 15 and half. You play for Arsenal’s first team. Do not expect too much. Just go out and press yourself out, have fun.’
“He is such a well -founder young man. It’s really funny because I was in a bar in the area of the stadium, and this type and a woman got up and said: ‘Ray, it’s a long way from Billericay, isn’t it?’ That is around the corner to me.
“I didn’t know who they were, I thought they were his followers. And he went: ‘Oh, I’m Max Dowman’s father.’ He lives from me on a radius, about six or seven miles.

“He was in tears when he had come. It is a dream that he had become true because they see how he all grew up through the academies.
“He can ever go into this first team, especially in today’s world, because it is much more difficult now because of the players and how many players they have.
“So I was very proud to see another player through the academy. There is still a long way to go.
“I said to him: ‘Look, keep your feet on the floor, work hard, that’s the most important thing. You haven’t made it yet!’
“But if he can continue as he goes, he will be one of the best for English football.”
At the age of 13, Dowman debuted for the Arsenal U18-year-old and, in addition to ten templates, scored 20 goals for the team.

The teenager achieved 15 times in the U18 appearance in the U18 Prime Minister League in the U18 Premier League last season.
Dowman could follow Foden Pathway
He steps into the footsteps of Hale End-graduates Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri, both of whom broke the last term.
“Mikel Areta – he brings them to training sessions,” continued Parlor. “He did that.
“And if he sees enough in a player, he will push her further into, push, push, push and give them opportunities.
“[Then] It is up to the player to improve further and continue to work hard. And as I said, if you can learn people like Declan Rice and boys how to learn … it’s a bit like Phil Foden.
“Why isn’t he borrowed? Pep Guardiola said: ‘Wait a minute, he plays with [Kevin] De Bruyne and the people like that. He can improve by playing with David Silva and Top -Top -Top players in training every day, and so they have enforced it.

“I am sure that Max will be very, very similar, but he will start a game this year, there is no doubt about it.
Dowman Hype similar to 15-year-old Rooney
“He is 16 in December, but I can see how he plays a role this year.
“I thought he was very good,” added Parlor. “Every time I played it, he has done something.
The number 10. He has so little pace when he drops his shoulder and walks past someone with his left foot. Very, very dangerous.
“So I expect it to really thrive and there is still a long way to go.
“I don’t want to put too much expectation on him, but what I have seen so far could be a damn player.
“I remember Wayne Rooney and the people who get through this way.
“I remember that people said when he was 15 in the reserves, incredible player, all of these things. Max is very likely similar.
“But as I said, it is still a long way to go and you just have to continue working hard, continue what the coach says and try to learn the other players too.”
