Arsenal are scrambling behind the scenes to cope with soaring demand for merchandise linked to teenage sensation Max Dowman.

The 16-year-old has become the talk of North London after his stunning performances, sparking a rush for shirts bearing his name.

Unlike established stars whose names are pre-prepared for printing, staff have had to assemble Dowman’s name manually using loose lettering meant for customisation. 

Employees are now producing his shirt name in batches daily just to keep up with demand, with fans flocking to the club shop immediately after matches.

Despite the surge in popularity, Dowman’s name is not yet listed among official options at the Emirates Stadium store, though that is expected to change soon. 

His rise has drawn comparisons to legends like Lionel Messi and Kaka, underlining the excitement around his emergence.
