England U21 head coach Lee Carsley says 15-year-old Max Dowman is being considered for an England call-up.
Dowman – who this season has made his Premier League debut and become the youngest player to feature in the Champions League – has been impressing while with the England Under-19s.
He has made five appearances for Arsenal’s first team this season but Carsley has said the “timing has got to be right” for the attacker to represent his under-21 side.
“He’s a player that we’re monitoring,” Carsley said.
“Sometimes that talent, we have to accelerate it so quickly because of the challenge they are getting at their clubs.
“It’s important that we keep in mind how young Max is and we are fully aware of him. We get all of the feedback from the camps that he plays on and there is definitely time. He’ll definitely get his chance within the Under-21s.”
