Dowman becomes youngest Premier League title winner

Max Dowman has made 12 appearances in all competitions this season [Getty Images] Teenage midfielder Max Dowman claimed another record as Arsenal clinched the Premier League title. Dowman became the youngest player in Premier League history when he came on for his senior debut in August 2025 - at 15 years and 235 days old. In November 2025 he became the Champions League's youngest player at 15 years and 308 days.

By scoring a late goal to seal a 2-0 win at home to Everton in March, he became the Premier League's youngest scorer at 16 years and 73 days. When Manchester City's draw at Bournemouth on Tuesday meant Arsenal secured their first league title in 22 years, Dowman became the youngest player to win the Premier League. He will be 16 years and 144 days old on Sunday, the final day of the campaign, and will receive one of the 40 medals given to the Premier League champions.

Players must make a minimum of five league appearances to qualify for a medal, and Dowman has played in five games as a substitute this season. He takes the record from Phil Foden, who was 17 years and 350 days when he won the first of his six league titles with City in 2017-18.
