Teenage Sensation Poised to Shatter Premier League Record
25 Aug
Summary
- 15-year-old Arsenal player could become youngest Premier League goalscorer
- Everton's James Vaughan held the record for over 20 years
- Teenager has impressed with his confidence and ability
In the latest round of Premier League matches, a 15-year-old player for Arsenal, Max Dowman, has emerged as a potential record-breaker. Dowman, who is still in secondary school, could become the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history, a record that has stood for over 20 years.
The current record is held by Everton's James Vaughan, who scored a goal at the age of 16 years and 270 days back in 2005. Dowman, who has been playing under-18 football since he was 13, is poised to shatter this long-standing record, as he has almost the entire 2025-26 season to achieve the feat.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been full of praise for the young prodigy, describing him as a player with "zero hesitation" and the conviction that he can deliver at the highest level, despite his tender age. Dowman's impressive debut cameo against Leeds United, featuring flair, confidence, and ability, has only added to the growing excitement surrounding his potential.
