The best players under 21 in the English top tier.

Age is the one thing that footballers can’t stop catching up on them and there is always a fresh young face ready to take their place.

Here are the top 10 best under-21s in the Premier League.

Luke Shaw Southampton

10. Luke Shaw, Southampton – 18

The defender is now the established first choice left-back at St Mary’s and with impressive performances this term, several teams are on the teenager’s tail.

Ross Barkley Everton

9. Ross Barkley, Everton – 19

By breaking into the Toffees first team on a regular basis and also earning a call up to the senior England squad this has been a great season for the midfielder so far.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Arsenal

8. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arsenal – 20

As a regular face in both the Gunners and Three Lions first team it’s easy to forget that this former Southampton man is still so young.

Adnan Januzaj Manchester United

7. Adnan Januzaj, Manchester United – 18

Not many had heard of the young winger before the 2013/14 term started, but after impressive displays in the first team the teenager is now earning a great reputation with United.

Mateja Nastasic Manchester City

6. Mateja Nastasic, Manchester City – 20

With seemingly endless transfer funds it’s great credit to the young Serb that the defender has kept a consistent place in the Citizens starting XI.

Phil Jones Manchester United

5. Phil Jones, Manchester United – 21

The defender is still being tipped as a future leader for both club and country and Jones generally impresses when taking to the field for either.

Christian Eriksen Tottenham

4. Christian Eriksen, Tottenham Hotspur – 21

It’s been a steady start for the Denmark international since making the £11m transfer from Ajax to north London in the summer and could be a real talent for the future.

Jack Wilshere Arsenal

3. Jack Wilshere, Arsenal – 21

The midfielder is recognised as one of Arsene Wenger’s key players and it’s also easy to forget the Englishman is still so young.

Romelu Lukaku Everton

2. Romelu Lukaku, Everton – 20

The on-loan Chelsea man is once again impressing with some fine goal-scoring form for the Merseyside club.

Philippe Coutinho Liverpool

1. Philippe Coutinho, Liverpool – 21

Just top of the pile is this Brazilian starlet who is impressing for the Reds once again this term and is forming a great relationship with striker Luis Suarez.
