EPL has been home to some of the world’s top youngsters in history.
Many believe that Max Dowman, the midfielder for Arsenal and England, might turn out to be as good as Lionel Messi.
He was brought on with his team eager to break the impasse against a stoic Everton, and he gave Mikel Arteta’s midfield vitality, speed, and bite—an impact that players who are only 16 and 73 days old shouldn’t have.
A startling number of actual youngsters have scored goals in the Premier League over the years, despite the division being frequently hailed as the greatest in the world of soccer.
There have been several prodigies who have overcome veteran defenders in the league to make history with their respective clubs, and now there is a new name to the list.
However, as the youngest goal scorers in league history demonstrate, scoring early does not ensure a future in the top divisions of the sport. But with this, we take a look at the 20 youngest goal scorers in league history:
