Arsenal\u2019s academy continues to produce impressive young talent who are already making quite an impact on the senior team.<\/p>\n

The Gunners have relied on Hale End to help forge the next big stars, who can then take that next step with the senior team.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta<\/a> has plenty of those youngsters at his disposal, with Bukayo Saka<\/a> already a long-term star in the side.<\/p>\n

Beyond him are Ethan Nwaneri<\/a> and Myles Lewis-Skelly<\/a>, who both made a breakthrough last season with telling contributions.<\/p>\n

Before they have even settled in at the senior level for Arsenal<\/a>, there is another star pushing them for minutes, with Cristhian Mosquera<\/a> praising the youngster.<\/p>\n

While many thought the Arsenal academy had produced two stars for the future within the side, it seemingly hasn\u2019t stopped there.<\/p>\n

The introduction of Max Dowman<\/a> to the team has led to plenty of excitement from the club, coaches, fans and media alike.<\/p>\n

At just 14, the playmaker was getting involved in senior training, as he looked to adjust and compete with players many years ahead of him.<\/p>\n

Now, aged 15, Dowman has made his Premier League debut<\/a> and continues to rack up the experiences for Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Given his age, there is plenty of wonder surrounding what he could become, with records continuing to tumble around him.<\/p>\n

Arsenal defender Cristhian Mosquera has chimed in on the conversation with a big comparison.<\/p>\n

He said, when speaking to The Athletic<\/a>: \u201cI don\u2019t mean to compare, but his style and way of playing is like Lamine Yamal. His movements are Lamine-esque.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t have him on my radar and when I got to Singapore, he was already training and playing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they told me he was 15, I couldn\u2019t believe it. He really is an incredible player, and I think he\u2019s going to be world-class.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see 17- and 18-year-olds like Myles [Lewis-Skelly] or Ethan [Nwaneri], and they play like they\u2019re 30, like they\u2019ve been playing football their whole lives. It\u2019s incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s plenty of praise for Dowman, who could end up reaching a similar level to Lamine Yamal<\/a>, but there is plenty of work to be done to reach that point.<\/p>\n

At just 15, Dowman continues to smash records almost every time he enters a football pitch.<\/p>\n

The England youth international is going to hope that the accolades keep flowing, with the next milestones often including goals and assists.<\/p>\n

One of them is on the Champions League<\/a> stage, as Dowman could become the youngest-ever goalscorer if he lands one in the league phase of the competition.<\/p>\n

He would beat Youssoufa Moukoko\u2019s record, which he set when scoring for Borussia Dortmund aged just 16.<\/p>\n

Lamine Yamal is second in that list, as his breakout campaigns for Barcelona continue to show just how good he is.<\/p>\n

The youngster\u2019s quality has seen him become a regular for Barca and Spain, something Dowman could quickly become if he is on the same trajectory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal\u2019s academy continues to produce impressive young talent who are already making quite an impact on the senior…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":215013,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[498,49,48,35422,25641,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-215012","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-arsenal","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-lamine-yamal","12":"tag-max-dowman","13":"tag-soccer","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215012\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
