Throughout the years, Tottenham Hotspur has seen some truly incredible young players come through its ranks. Particularly in the Premier League era, they are known to produce some of the best young talents. But who are the five youngest Tottenham players to ever play in the Premier League?
Well, this list will run through the five youngest players but first we must address some of the ground rules, to avoid confusion.
Firstly, this list is about the Premier League only. Therefore, the age of the player will only count for their first ever Premier League appearance, regardless of any appearance they may have made in other competitions.
Secondly, this list will include both starters and used substitutes - As long as they touched the grass, they're in.
Lastly, since this is a Premier League-based list, it will only feature appearances in the 1992/93 season or later, when the Premier League first came to be.
The five youngest Tottenham players to ever play in the Premier League
Without further ado, let's run through this list of the five youngest Tottenham players to ever play in the Premier League...
1. Dane Scarlett (16 years, 10 months, 14 days)
In February 2021, Tottenham youngster Dane Scarlett was granted his Premier League debut, becoming the youngest player to ever play in the English top-flight for Spurs - A record which stands to this day. He was brought on as a substitute in their 2-0 win against West Brom.
Speaking to the club website, Scarlett said: “My Premier League debut is something that will stick with me because it was a big moment, not just for me but for my family as well. I’ve just got to keep kicking on and hopefully make some more appearances now."
Since this, Scarlett racked another Premier League appearance but the forward is awaiting his first Premier League goal. He has been on two loan spells, to Portsmouth and Ipswich. He is certainly a bright prospect and one to watch under Ange Postecoglou.
