Max Dowman is possibly the most talented youngster in England.
Fortunately for Manchester City, they have a few youngsters who can be considered at the same level as the Englishman.
One of them is Divine Mukasa, a gifted attacking midfielder, who registered 17 goals and 25 assists last season.
Sverre Nypan is rated highly by Manchester City and the 18-year-old, who is currently at Middlesbrough on loan is a special talent as well.
