Tuchel did not dismiss the possibility of Dowman earning international recognition in the future.
He said: “We always have the chance to call him up for the World Cup.”
The comment highlights the level of belief in Dowman’s talent, despite his age and current stage of development.
Praise for Dowman’s talent and impact
Tuchel also pointed to the qualities that have brought Dowman into the spotlight.
He said: “He put himself in the spotlight with this amazing goal against Everton and the crucial goal.”
The England boss made it clear there is no doubt over Dowman’s ability.
He added: “I think at the moment he is competing and obviously an outstanding talent at this age; there cannot be a doubt about it.”
That praise reflects the growing reputation of the Arsenal youngster, who continues to develop within a demanding environment.
Competition and development remain key
Despite the recognition, Tuchel stressed that Dowman is still competing for minutes rather than starting regularly.
