According to Mirror, Dowman once again demonstrated remarkable ability in Arsenal's victory over Ipswich in the Carabao Cup, earning internal praise from the Gunners for the Dowman family, whose exceptional support has been crucial to Dowman's development.

Since taking the pitch, Dowman has continuously broken records. This time, he became only the second 16-year-old since Wayne Rooney in 2002 to score a brace for a Premier League team. His two goals in Arsenal's Carabao Cup match against Ipswich demonstrated extraordinary talent and suggest he could reach the pinnacle for both club and country.

Dowman is already the youngest goalscorer and youngest trophy winner in Premier League history, and the youngest player to appear in a Champions League knockout match. For this Arsenal wonderkid, this is nothing new. Since being discovered at age four, he has continuously exceeded expectations.

The Dowman family lives in Essex. As a child, he often played with six-year-olds on a pitch in Kelvedon Hatch, and even then his "superhuman" ball-carrying ability was evident. His dribbling skills, silky left foot, and shooting prowess at such a young age made him stand out. His movements were remarkably composed.

Premier League clubs cannot recruit children into their systems until age five, with the aim of signing them as early as possible once they reach nine. Even when Dowman began regularly attending Arsenal, he impressed the youth coaches; no one believed he was only five at the time. He performed at the same level even against older children – and remember, all children at Arsenal were already highly talented. West Ham United, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur all wanted to sign Dowman, but Arsenal had a trump card: his family were Arsenal supporters. When Chelsea tried to approach him a few years ago, his father Rob posted on social media: "Arsenal is our club."

Arsenal Academy continues to produce outstanding young players – Nwaneri, Saka, and other talents – and the club is regarded as world-class in developing and supporting young talent. Other clubs may be better at the business of developing young talent and selling players, but Arsenal's success rate in developing leading young stars in recent years speaks for itself. Every child needs considerable luck to succeed; an injury can destroy all their efforts. They also need strong family support.

Just look at Jude and Jobe Bellingham to understand the value of family. Not only can one child become a leading European player, but two. This reflects their upbringing and family values. The same is true for Dowman. Internally, Arsenal highly values his father Rob, a very successful businessman, and also praises his mother Caroline and the entire family. They have consistently supported him from behind – and in the right way – genuine encouragement, not pressure.

When Dowman signed his professional contract with Arsenal, his father posted a photo of the scout who discovered his talent and wrote: "This is a proud day for us. None of this could have happened without this man. Thank you, Johnny Knight." Knight is a highly respected scout with an outstanding reputation in the field, an expert in youth football, and never seeks attention. But some families go too far and forget everything that came before. The Dowman family does not.

The Dowman family keeps Max grounded. He is handsome, intelligent – he continues his education while training and playing for Arsenal – and clearly an outstanding footballer. Adidas also brought him to New York for the World Cup, and he has appeared in advertisements. Even amid the chaos outside the stadium after matches, he makes sure to sign autographs for fans, and in Arsenal's loyal fanbase, his family is known to be friendly, generous, and very discreet. It is no surprise that Arsenal fans have taken to Max. His brace against Ipswich – particularly the first goal – showcased his full range of abilities: carrying the ball forward, dribbling past defenders, changing direction, and a clinical finish. His stunning goal against Everton last season was also among his most impressive moments. He burst from deep in his own half to score, and that moment truly introduced him to the wider football world.

A few days later, when Tuchel announced the next England squad in March, reporters asked whether he had a chance at the World Cup. It is too early, but certainly he won't have to wait long. Now Arteta's challenge is how to integrate him into Arsenal's team. Even with so much talent in the squad, he cannot be held back indefinitely. His best position is genuinely in the middle, in a number 10 role. That is Arsenal's future. However, he can also play deeper, cutting in from the right wing, or operating on the left. Even the best players start wide and then move inside. Dowman is destined for the top, and now he is being guided in the best possible way.
