16-Year-Old Arsenal Prodigy Aims to Topple Kanu’s 31-Year UCL Record

England U19 midfielder Max Dowman could make history in the Champions League final against PSG. At just 16 years and 150 days old, he stands to become the youngest winner ever if Arsenal lift the trophy in Budapest. That feat would break the 31-year-old mark set by Nigerian legend Nwankwo Kanu, who won with Ajax in 1995 at 18 years and 296 days. Kanu famously came on late in the final to help secure a 1-0 win over AC Milan in Vienna. Dowman has already rewritten club and continental record books this season. He is Arsenal’s youngest ever Premier League starter and scorer, and holds records as the youngest player and goalscorer in UEFA youth competitions. All eyes will be on Mikel Arteta’s squad list to see if the teen midfielder can step onto the Budapest pitch and eclipse Kanu’s landmark.
