Dowman comes in at No. 2 on the all-time list, only behind fellow Arsenal player Ethan Nwaneri, who was 15 years and 181 days when he entered as a substitute against Brentford in September 2022. Nwaneri also is a left-footed attacking midfielder.

Wayne Rooney says Arsenal teenager Max Dowman is the talk of the footballing world and destined for a “massive future” following his impressive Premier League debut. Attacking midfielder Dowman became the second youngest player to represent the Gunners after coming on as a substitute aged 15 years and 234 days during Saturday’s 5-0 win over Leeds.
