With growing number of youth academies around the world, clubs put an emphasis on nurturing young talent. Today we are seeing some of the world’s best young players in the Premier League.
We look at the 10 youngest players in the Premier League as of 2015.
10) Philippe Coutinho, 22
Coutinho has become an important player for Liverpool since signing from Internazionale for £8.5-million in January 2013. The Brazilian had signed for Inter for under £3-million from Vasco in Brazil at the age of only 16, although he spent another two seasons in Brazil. Once Coutinho arrived in Italy he struggled to live up to the expectation upon him and found himself sent on loan to Espanyol in 2012. His fine form at Liverpool was rewarded earlier this month when he signed a five-year deal worth £75,000 a week.
