Arsenal teenager Max Dowman has continued his remarkable rise by being named in the England Under-19 squad for the first time.

The midfielder has represented England at Under-17 level, but has now been promoted two age groups to the Under-19 squad.

Dowman is part of the squad for their upcoming international camp, which will see them face Ukraine, Spain and the Netherlands.

England will take on Ukraine next Wednesday, followed by a game with Spain on Saturday. Three days after that, they will face the Netherlands.

Dowman is in line to make his England Under-19 debut in one of those matches after being named in the squad on Friday afternoon.

The 15-year-old’s team-mate at Arsenal, goalkeeper Jack Porter, is also in the squad.

Dowman has enjoyed a brilliant few months, featuring in all three of Arsenal’s pre-season games in Asia this summer before making his debut against Leeds last week.

He has long been tipped for the top after making his debut for Arsenal’s Under-18 side when just 13 years old.

Dowman finished last season by scoring 15 goals in 15 league appearances for Arsenal’s Under-18 side.
