Last season, Arsenal had the team with the youngest average age in the Premier League last season, and with Edu and Arteta’s new philosophy of only buying talented youngsters, the average age will only be getting younger as the new signings are integrated into the team..
With every single one of our new signings being 23 or under, it is quite possible that we could see these XI players lining up for Arteta in a Premier League game this season, which would include all of our new signings except for Nuno Tavares, but considering that Kieran Tierney has a tendency towards being injured on a regular basis, Tavares could also be included.
Considering Arteta’s buying philosophy, it was maybe surprising that Arsenal extended Aubameyang’s contract last summer instead of cashing in and signing a new young striker like Tammy Abraham, which would have reduced the average age even more.
But here is a Starting XI that is very feasiible and if started would easily beat last years figures, as the average age of this XI is just 23.36. This would probably be an EPL record!
Ramsdale 23
Tomiyasu 23
Ben White 23
Gabriel 23
Tierney 24
Lokonga 21
Partey 28
Saka 20 (Today!)
Smith-Rowe 21
Odegaard 22
Aubameyang 32
So what do you think of that line-up playing regularly together and developing into a title winning team?
Who says you can’t win anything with kids!
