The Premier League is packed with up-and-coming players, with Arsenal and Manchester United's wonderkids named among the 10 youngest stars for the 2023-24 season.
Clubs these days are putting a lot of emphasis on developing young players, so it seems common to see teenagers lined up in the first team.
We researched the Premier League and selected the 10 youngest players to watch this season, including how old they were at their first appearance.
10. Koby Mainu (18 years, 7 months, 7 days)
Mainu has been a mainstay in Erik ten Hag's side since making his full Premier League debut in November. The youngster plays with poise beyond his years and is one of the most promising players United have developed in a long time.
Given his current progress, it won't be long before we see the teenage sensation in the England squad.
Former United star Wes Brown recently compared Maynou to five-time Champions League winner Clarence Seedorf and has been impressed with the youngster's progress.
“There is [a comparison]And for me it's Clarence Seedorf! ' Former United man Brown told Instant Casino.
“If you get a chance to watch Clarence Seedorf, you see how he receives the ball, how he wants the ball, how he protects the ball, but for me it's Koby Mainu. It’s very similar to how they play.”
The past few months must have been a whirlwind for this young man.

9. Luke Harris (18 years, 5 months, 29 days)
Harris was given a chance against Manchester City earlier in the season following Tom Cairney's injury. Fulham ended up losing 5-1, but the experience will be useful to the attacking midfielder.
In January, the Fulham prospect joined Exeter City on loan for the remainder of the season to continue his development. He is still in great form and has scored two goals in the last few games.
8. Jack Hinshelwood (18 years, 5 months, 19 days)
Brighton have an excellent reputation when it comes to developing young players and there is reason to be excited about Hinshelwood.
The versatile 18-year-old has made 17 appearances for the first team this season, scoring three goals. Roberto de Zerbi even called him “the new Pascal Grosz”.
“Pascal believes he can play as a striker, winger or centre-back. So does Hinshelwood. The only difference between them is age,” De Zerbi explained via the club's website.
“I think they're very close in attitude and quality. Jack Hinshelwood could be the new Pascal Gross. We've got the headlines!”
7. David Ozor (18 years, 5 months, 15 days)
Ozo has been in Crystal Palace's academy since he was eight years old and it's great to see him making an impact in the first team recently.
When he made his debut last season, he became the youngest player ever to feature for Crystal Palace in the Premier League. That's what dreams are made of.
6. David Washington (18 years, 4 months, 23 days)
Chelsea's recruitment strategy is built around signing promising young players from around the world. Although they haven't had much success on the pitch, they have some very talented youngsters on their books.
Washington made his senior debut at the age of 18 years and four months, making him the youngest player to feature for Chelsea in the Premier League this season.
Like most of Chelsea's recent signings, it's probably too early to judge Washington given his age and lack of playing time to date. We hope to see more of him in the coming months.

5. Jayden Duns (18 years 1 month 05 days)
With Liverpool struggling with a spate of injuries, manager Jurgen Klopp has been forced to rely on his academy kids. Overall, they did really well when given the chance.
Dans got his first chance against Luton Town in February and has made several appearances since then. The future of Anfield is certainly bright.
4. Ben Doak (17 years, 9 months, 2 days)
The Scottish youngster has endured a frustrating season so far, missing large parts of the season through injury. However, he only played a few minutes in the Premier League and was only 17 when he featured against Chelsea on the opening day of the season.
It's a shame, but he will soon be able to forget his injury problems.
3. Lewis Miley (17 years, 6 months, 11 days)
With Sandro Tonali currently sidelined, Miley has a chance to step up. The 17-year-old has played more than 1,200 minutes for Newcastle this season and is considered one of the top prospects in the league.
After Miley scored against Fulham, Howe told Sky Sports: “His all-round performance was really good, he made some really good passes in the final third and produced some goals.”
“He is an incredible talent and has made a fantastic start to his career at Newcastle.”
2. Ryan Wang (17 years, 4 months, 2 days)
It's been a disastrous season for Sheffield United, but they can take some solace in the fact that they have some talented prospects in their ranks.
The Blades signed Wang from Hamilton Academical in the summer, but the striker was just 17 years and four months old when he made his club debut. He is definitely a player to keep an eye on in the future.
1. Ethan Nwaneri (16 years, 10 months, 21 days)
Nwaneri is not yet 17 years old, but he already has plenty of first-team experience. The midfielder became the youngest player to feature in the Premier League this season after playing in Arsenal's 6-0 victory over West Ham.
I'm looking forward to what the future holds for this 16-year-old boy.
