Arsenal wonderkid Max Dowman has received three official Guinness World Records certificates following his record-breaking rise with his boyhood club.

The England U19 international is already widely regarded as one of the best young prospects in all of world football.

He has already signed a pre-contract agreement regarding the terms of his first professional deal with the Premier League champions, which will come into effect once he has turned 17 on December 31.

Meanwhile, Dowman has now received several accolades as he's set to feature in the new Class of '27 in Guinness World Records Football Edition 2027.

The majestic teen has been recognised for becoming the youngest player to ever feature in the UEFA Champions League; aged 15 years and 308 days last season away to Slavia Prague.

The previous record was held by Borussia Dortmund’s Youssoufa Moukoko, now with Turkish Super Lig club Corum, and Dowman smashed it by 75 days.

Furthermore, he is also the youngest goalscorer in the Premier League; aged 16 and 73 days following his remarkable solo goal against Everton in March.

Lastly, he's also the youngest player ever to win the Premier League, aged 16 and 144 days, after securing the title in May.

Dowman first started training with Arsenal’s first team at the age of 14 and has since made 15 appearances across all competitions since debuting off the bench against Leeds in August 2025, when he won a penalty.

He started the 4-2 EFL Cup win over Ipswich Town last month, scoring twice and now looks set for a big role in the coming weeks following injuries to Kai Havertz and Christos Tzolis.

Tom Beckerlegge, Senior Editor of Guinness World Records Football Edition 2027, said: “The youngest player on our list, Max sums up what the Class of ’27 is all about. To have already achieved three Guinness World Records titles before turning 17 is extraordinary, and his story captures exactly why this generation of players is so exciting.

“Football never stands still. Records are broken, new stars emerge and every season brings fresh moments of genius that light up the game. The Guinness World Records Football Edition 2027 celebrates all of that - from the biggest stars in world football to the young players whose stories are only just beginning.”

World stars Lamine Yamal, Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, Hannah Hampton, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe also feature in the book's Class of ’27. It's available to purchase both in stores and online from today and is priced at £12.99.

Thousands of Arsenal fans upgraded their matchday last season. This is how they did it.
