Arsenal've taken extraordinary step by appointing personal bodyguard for their rising talent Max Dowman who's only 15 year old.

Unusual protection for a teenager

According to The Sun, the youngster now moves with security escort to shield him from over enthusiastic fans.

While personal guards are usually reserved for established stars, Dowman’s sudden rise has forced Arsenal to break tradition. The bodyguard was even spotted on the touchline during Arsenal’s league clash with Man United.
