Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has played against Dowman several times, has been impressed by the 15-year-old's sharp finishing and ability to perform at a high level at such a young age.

He also praised the young players Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly, saying they demonstrate impressive ability and character.

However, Dowman is currently out of action due to an ankle ligament injury and is expected to miss around two months of football.

Arsenal has been struggling with injuries this season, with 28 players currently sidelined, including top players such as William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Kai Havertz.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is also dealing with his own career, expressed his desire to return to the pitch and play football, despite no longer being an active player.
