Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus has described Max Doman’s meteoric rise as “crazy” after the Frenchman made an incredible introduction to first-team football at the Emirates. The 16-year-old made history as the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history when he found the back of the net in the 2-0 win over Everton in March.<\/p>\n
The winger took a bow in the top flight on August 23 when he came off the bench in the 64th minute of Arsenal’s 5-0 win over Leeds United. Since then, Dauman has made seven appearances for Mikel Arteta’s side, scoring one goal and providing one assist.<\/p>\n
Jesus praised Dauman’s influence in a meeting with former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian revealed on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast that he was genuinely surprised to find out that Arsenal’s teenage sensation was still attending school despite his rise to stardom.<\/p>\n
He said, “Max is only 16. He started with us when we were 15. I told you before. When I was 15, I was playing in the streets. I hadn’t made it yet. It’s crazy.”<\/p>\n
“So it’s crazy that he’s playing in the Champions League and the Premier League at 15 years old. I ask him after the game and he scores a goal and he says, ‘How was school today?'” It was Sunday, so on Monday I ask him, “How was school today?”<\/p>\n

Dowman was called up to the England Under-19 squad during the international break. And the teenager scored a stunning goal against Portugal in a UEFA European Championship qualifier.<\/p>\n
