"He is a special, special player. To be able to play in these types of conditions and do so well on the ball, and dribble the way he was, showed he is a special talent. We are all trying to support and help him as much as possible to grow, improve and fulfil his potential."
"Max is very different to a lot of players, but he is someone that is confident. He believes in his ability a lot. To be fair, that is the same with a lot of the players coming through the academy these days. Once they come to train with the first team, they believe in themselves. It is a positive energy to be around."
"He is a special player, but also a special person as well. You can see that he is maturing well and he's a good guy. It's fun to be around."
Max Dowman, a 16-year-old Arsenal academy prospect, made his second senior start in the FA Cup fifth-round match against Mansfield Town. Playing alongside fellow academy player Marli Salmon, Dowman impressed with his technical skills and ball control in challenging conditions. Cole Eze, who scored the winning goal in Arsenal's 2-1 victory, praised Dowman as a special talent with exceptional confidence and maturity. Dowman continues to break records, becoming Arsenal's youngest FA Cup player and the youngest player ever to feature in the Champions League. His performances demonstrate the quality emerging from Arsenal's academy system.
