Arsenal wonderkid Max Dowman has received three official Guinness World Records certificates for his record-breaking achievements since breaking into the first team.
Dowman, 16, is the youngest player ever to feature in the UEFA Champions League, aged 15 years and 308 days when he played against Slavia Prague last season. He beat Youssoufa Moukoko’s previous record by 75 days.
He is also the youngest goalscorer in the Premier League, having scored at 16 years and 73 days against Everton in March, and the youngest player to win the league title, aged 16 and 144 days when Arsenal secured it in May.
The England U19 international started training with Arsenal’s first team at 14 and has made 15 appearances across all competitions since debuting against Leeds in August 2025. He scored twice in the EFL Cup win over Ipswich last month and is set for more minutes with Kai Havertz and Christos Tzolis sidelined.
Dowman has already agreed terms on his first professional contract, which will take effect when he turns 17 on 31 December. He features in Guinness World Records’ Class of ’27 alongside Lamine Yamal, Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland.
