In the summer, Chelsea overhauled their squad and now boast the second youngest squad among Europe’s top five leagues with an average age of 23.7. The departure of several older players has left Chelsea with just two players over 30 years old in their squad, Thiago Silva and Marcus Bettinelli.

RC Strasbourg, another club with a young squad, is currently home to two Blues teenagers, Brazilian youngsters Angelo Gabriel and Andrey Santos. Ligue 1 features prominently on the list, with six clubs among the top 10 having youthful squads.
