Saw this on Twitter, Dowman's u18 stats MF: Max Dowman, ArsenalThe best player I saw against Chelsea at any age group last season and it wasn't close. Every bit as good as advertised; Arsenal won at Cobham because of him. He has this uncanny dribbling style moving + protecting it at the same time.

posted this in the wrong thread originally doesn't mean much of anything but Louis Page has scored twice in our first pre season game, currently beating Peterborough 3-1 (Silko Thomas got the 3rd as I was typing), very young second half side but I wouldn't be shocked to see him in and around the squad if he isn't loaned out. Game ended 3-1
I think Page looked a shadow of himself for England this summer, not the player I've watched for Leicester - If only we had six Carsleys to manage every underage side. I would have Carsley manage the upcoming November World Cup.
Chelsea apparently ‘floated the idea’ of involving Max Dowman in a deal for Madueke, which is something Arsenal didn’t hesitate to turn down.The 15-year-old is considered to be the ‘crown jewel’ of Arsenal, and fortunately, the player is just as committed as his club are.On… pic.twitter.com/Y89G9wBKUP— TheSecretScout (@TheSecretScout_) July 8, 2025
