Former Arsenal goalkeeper Graham Stack has reportedly revealed that Max Dowman reminds him of Paul Gascoigne.
After making his Arsenal debut at the age of 15, Dowman has become incredibly famous in recent months.
After playing against Leeds last month, the midfielder became the second-youngest player in Premier League history. He came off the bench the following week at Anfield.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes that Dowman will have a good career, and according to The Evening Standard, Stack understands why he is the subject of so much talk.

“I think it is unbelievable, I really do,” said Stack, who was speaking ahead of A Night To Remember.
“I have watched him a few times, only since he has been recently highlighted.
“From what I have seen, he is such a gifted, talented young player – who has been given an opportunity and taken it.
“It reminds me of Gazza. When I was growing up, Gazza was my hero and I loved the way he played football.
“He just played off the cuff sometimes, just played with freedom. Every time he had the ball, he looked like he was enjoying it and had a smile on his face.
“I look at Max and he has definitely got some similar qualities to Gazza in that respect, because he looks like he is just a natural footballer with the way he moves with the ball, his IQ, the things he sees, the pictures he sees.
“It just seems to be second nature to him. I love seeing young players coming through, because I have been there.”
