Real Madrid Scouts Monitor Arsenal’s 15-Year-Old Max Dowman After Record England U19 Goal

Arsenal are prioritizing a measured pathway because FIFA rules bar a professional deal until he turns 17 in December 2026.

Overview

  • Reports say Real Madrid scouts watched Dowman with England U19s in Spain and were impressed, with further checks during matches against Belgium and Wales.
  • Dowman scored in England U19s’ 7-0 win over Wales to become the youngest-ever goalscorer at that level, achieving the feat at 15.
  • The teenager has three senior appearances for Arsenal this season as the club eases him into first-team football.
  • Current regulations prevent any professional contract or transfer fee registration for Dowman before his 17th birthday on December 31, 2026.
  • Club voices urge patience with his development, and defender Cristhian Mosquera has likened Dowman’s style to Lamine Yamal, reflecting the high regard for his talent.
