Global sports media The Athletic reported on the 6th (Korea time) that 15-year-old Max Dowman and 16-year-old Jack Porter were included in Arsenal's Dubai training camp list.
Arsenal left for Dubai for off-season training immediately after losing 0-2 to Newcastle in the second leg of the 2024-2025 League Cup semi-final on the 6th. Arsenal, which had already conducted such off-season training last season, will begin special preparations for the players' bodies and the rest of their schedules in Dubai, which is also warm this season.
An unexpected person accompanied the training, drawing attention. It is Dowman, an Arsenal Academy player born in 2009. The Athletic head to Dubai with the Arsenal first team squad. Arsenal decided to take the woman, consulting with all concerned. We took care to ensure that even educational programs were respected, and we will also make time for the Dubai schedule to follow the school curriculum.'"

Some British media outlets reported that `Dowman is already attracting a lot of attention within Arsenal and is expected to play together in the first team soon. Club officials have compared him to legendary player Kaka, describing him as a crazy player. He has already become the youngest player to play in the U-18 (under 18) team, and will gradually adapt to the first team. "Dowman also played with Ethan Nwaneri and Miles Ruiskelie and the first team players and played in a friendly match without spectators. "
Dowman, born in 2009, is two to three years younger than players born in 2006 and 2007, starting with Lamine Yamal, who recently shook the soccer world. He is three years younger than Yang Min-hyuk. He joined Arsenal in 2015 and is training, and he is already playing as a key player in the U-18 team with a great appearance and a huge monthly average. He also joined the first-team training, further raising expectations. He has already shown exceptional talent in various areas such as dribbling, vision, passing, depression, and judgment, and if he is growing now, he is likely to receive an opportunity on the first-team stage soon.
However, no matter how outstanding Dowman is, this season will not be seen in the English Premier League (EPL). According to the EPL regulations, players must be at least 16 years old before the opening of the season. Dowman, who is still 15, cannot even be named in the Arsenal squad.
