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.
