Not many moments bring greater excitement in football than a young talent bursting onto the scene with a goal. Down the years in the Premier League, we have seen many wonderkids assert themselves on the senior stage by finding the back of the net. Whether it was Wayne Rooney’s wonderstrike against Arsenal as a 16 year old, or Anthony Martial arriving on the scene as a teenager and tearing through Liverpool’s defence, these are memories to savour.

With this in mind, here at Transfermarkt, we have calculated the youngest goalscorer for each of the current 20 Premier League teams in the competition since the league’s inception in the 1992/93 season. There are some players who went on to have illustrious careers and become club legends, other youngsters who flattered to deceive, and some just plain surprises. We have listed them all below, ranking them by the youngest first.
