Top 4 Youngest Squads in Premier League 2023-24

Let’s take a look at the youngest teams in the Premier League this season.

The Premier League is witnessing a shift towards youth, as several teams have chosen to prioritize young talent over experience in the 2023-24 season.
Here are the youngest squads in the Premier League this season.

4- Tottenham Hotspur (Average Age: 25 years, 29 days)

Tottenham Hotspur, currently leading the Premier League, has undergone a transformation under manager Ange Postecoglou. The arrival of young talents like Micky van de Ven and Guglielmo Vicario, along with more playing time for Pape Matar Sarr, has significantly lowered their squad’s average age. This season, Spurs have embraced a more youthful approach, with an average starting XI age of 25 years and 29 days, a stark contrast to their 2022-23 campaign when they had the third-oldest squad in the league.

3- Chelsea (Average Age: 24 years, 352 days)

Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea boasts a talented squad primarily comprised of young attacking midfielders. With an average starting XI age of 24 years and 352 days, the Blues are the third-youngest team in the Premier League. While they’ve faced some challenges this season due to the rapid assembly of their squad, their youthfulness appears to be more of an advantage than a hindrance.

2- Burnley (Average Age: 24 years, 170 days)

Vincent Kompany’s Burnley, in their first season back in the Premier League, have taken a bold approach by trusting their youth. Players like 19-year-old Luca Koleosho and 21-year-old James Trafford and Ameen Al Dakhil have been regular starters, contributing to an average starting XI age of just 24 years and 170 days. Despite a slow start to the season with only four points from 30, the experience gained by Burnley’s young squad in the Premier League could prove valuable in the long run.

1- Arsenal (Average Age: 24 years, 335 days)

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal has successfully prioritized youth over experience, boasting the youngest squad in the Premier League. Their average starting XI age is 24 years and 335 days, and they are currently second in the league, trailing only Tottenham. Young stars such as Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaar has turned into leaders under Mikel Arteta as Arsenal continue their ambitious project in the Premier League.
