Mikel Merino has compared 'unbelievable talent' Max Dowman to
Lamine Yamal and claimed his
Arsenal team-mates have challenged the youngster to get even better.
Yamal‚ who is in the running for the
Ballon d'Or‚ has taken the football world by storm ever since breaking into
Barcelona's first team as a regular aged just 16 - the same age as Dowman.
Merino won the
World Cup with
Spain this summer‚ with
Yamal‚ now 19‚ a key part of the team. Yet‚
Merino views Dowman‚ who struck an impressive brace against
Ipswich on Tuesday night in the
Carabao Cup third round‚ in a similar light to his international team-mate.
