Wayne Rooney reveals what his son Kai said about playing against Max Dowman - after Arsenal wonderkid made dazzling Premier League debut

Wayne Rooney's son has given an insight into what he noticed playing against Arsenal wonderkid Max Dowman.

Dowman, 15, came off the bench in Arsenal's 5-0 win over Leeds and lit up the Emirates, skinning defenders, almost scoring a screamer, and winning a penalty.

He started training with Mikel Arteta's first team aged 14 and shone on their pre-season tour of Asia.

Captain Martin Odegaard has urged patience with the youngster, who is in the middle of his GCSE studies, but Arsenal and England could have the next big thing on their hands if the right conditions come together.
