Arsenal teenager Max Dowman has made Premier League history after becoming the youngest-ever player to be crowned champion.

Arsenal's teenage sensation, Max Dowman, has added another record to his collection by becoming the youngest player to win a Premier League title after the Gunners secured the championship.

Manchester City's draw with Bournemouth on Tuesday confirmed Arsenal's first league triumph in 22 years, simultaneously cementing Dowman's place in the history books. On the final day of the season, he will be just 16 years and 144 days old.

Dowman qualifies for one of the 40 winners' medals awarded to the champions, having met the minimum requirement of five league appearances. The midfielder has featured as a substitute in five games this season.

This achievement is the latest in a series of milestones for the young star. In August 2025, he made his senior debut at 15 years and 235 days, becoming the youngest player in Premier League history. He followed this by becoming the Champions League's youngest-ever player in November 2025, aged 15 years and 308 days.

In March, Dowman also became the Premier League's youngest goalscorer at 16 years and 73 days when he scored a late goal to secure a 2-0 victory over Everton.

The previous record for the youngest Premier League winner was held by Phil Foden, who was 17 years and 350 days old when he won the first of his six titles with Manchester City during the 2017-18 season. Dowman now joins a prestigious list that includes former Arsenal title winners like Gael Clichy and Nicolas Anelka.
