The 10 youngest Premier League players in the 2024/25 season

The Premier League continues to be a platform where young talents are given the opportunity to shine on the grandest stage.

This season, we've seen some of the league’s youngest ever players make their debut.

Below, we highlight and analyse the youngest players to have featured this season, focusing on their minutes, performances, and the potential impact they could have moving forward.

Players like Tyler Dibling and Archie Gray are the exceptions, having featured for more extended periods, and their performances suggest that they have the ability to cope with the physical and technical demands of top-flight football.

Both players have shown promise, with Dibling even contributing a goal, indicating that he can deliver in key moments.

Conversely, players like Mikey Moore and Ethan Nwaneri have seen extremely limited time on the pitch. However, these early debuts are significant as they signal the trust placed in them by their respective clubs. Even a few minutes of action in the Premier League can be invaluable for young players' development, giving them a feel for the intensity and pace of the league.

For most of these players, their debut minutes are only the beginning.

The trend of blooding young talents in the Premier League continues, with top teams particularly keen on nurturing homegrown talents.

Clubs like Arsenal and Southampton, who have a history of promoting youth, are once again at the forefront, giving their brightest prospects the platform to thrive.

While it's too early to predict the long-term success of many of these players, the fact they have been trusted to take part in Premier League action at such a young age speaks volumes about their potential.

In the 2023/24 Premier League season, the English top-flight ranked third for the total number of minutes given to teenagers. But that number has been declining, and this year there are only a small number of young players who have been given the opportunity to shine thus far in the 2024/25.

10. Yunus Emre Konak (Brentford)

Age: 18 years, 271 days

Brentford signed Yunus Emre Knok from Sivasspor in the summer of 2024. The young Turkish defensive midfielder has all the ability to become a regular in Thomas Frank's side, despite still being only 18 years old.

9. Lucas Bergvall (Spurs)

Age: 18 years, 248 days

Lucas Bergvall is a promising young attacking midfielder who has already made some promising appearances for Ange Postecoglou's Spurs side.

8. Luis Guilherme (West Ham)

Age: 18 years, 241 days

The young Brazilian wonderkid joined West Ham in June 2024, with the Hammers fighting off stiff competition to sign the promising forward.

The hotly-tipped teenage has only made one appearance at the time of writing for Julen Lopetegui's side.

7. Tyler Dibling (Southampton)

Age: 18 years, 209 days
With 206 minutes across 5 matches, Dibling has seen significantly more playing time than most of his young peers. He’s already notched a goal, proving he can make an impact. His strong presence for Southampton indicates that he is well on his way to becoming a regular contributor for the team.

6. Archie Gray (Spurs)

Age: 18 years, 209 days
Gray’s 34 minutes for Spurs show that he is more integrated into the squad than some other young debutants. His versatility across midfield and defence could earn him more game time this season as he continues to gain valuable experience.

5. Samuel Amo-Ameyaw (Southampton)

Age: 18 years, 81 days
Southampton’s track record of developing young players is well known, and Amo-Ameyaw looks to be their latest prospect. Though he's only had 10 minutes of game time, his versatility as a defender makes him one to watch for more action, especially in cup competitions.

4. Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal)

Age: 18 years, 11 days
Arsenal's talent factory continues to churn out prospects, and Lewis-Skelly, a versatile defender, is the latest to make his bow. Like Nwaneri, he’s only had a brief cameo, but he's highly rated within Arsenal’s academy and is seen as one for the future.

3. Harrison Armstrong (Everton)

Age: 17 years, 262 days
Armstrong’s debut came with limited impact, playing just 1 minute. With Everton's midfield needs, however, he may find more opportunities as the season progresses, especially with the club’s history of developing youth talent.

2. Ethan Nwaneri (Arsenal)

Age: 17 years, 200 days
Following his debut last season as the youngest player in Premier League history, Nwaneri added a few more minutes this season.

With just 5 minutes of action, it’s clear Arsenal are easing him into first-team football, but he’s highly rated by the club and could have a bright future if he continues to develop.

1. Mikey Moore (Spurs)

Age: 17 years, 57 days

Mikey Moore is the youngest player to in the Premier League in 2024/25.

The young forward has only played 24 minutes so far but has shown signs of promise in Ange Postecoglou's Spurs side

Though his time on the pitch was minimal, the mere fact he has debuted at such a young age demonstrates the faith Tottenham have in his potential. Spurs fans will be eager to see how he develops in the coming years.

While their impact on the pitch has been minimal in terms of goals and assists, the real significance lies in their development and the potential they represent for the future.

Players like Tyler Dibling and Archie Gray have already shown flashes of their ability, while others like Mikey Moore and Ethan Nwaneri are still finding their feet.

As the season progresses, we may see more of these young talents as they look to establish themselves in the Premier League.
