Youngest Player In Arsenal’s History

Cesc Fabregas remains to this day the youngest player to have ever appeared for Arsenal.

The Spaniard was signed from Barcelona on 11 September 2003 as an academy player but he got to make his senior debut just over a month later on 28 October 2003. He came on as a substitute in a League Cup home tie against Rotherham United.

He also got to become the club’s youngest goalscorer by netting the ball during a 5-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the same club competition that season.

It ended up being a historic season for Arsenal as the North London outfit won the Premier League with an unbeaten streak. However, Fabregas did not receive a winners medal since he did not play a single league game for the side.

Currently, he is playing for AS Monaco.

Second Youngest Player In Arsenal’s History

The second youngest footballer to have played for Arsenal is Jack Wilshere.

He is a graduate of the Gunners academy after joining the side at only 9 years old. He was given a place in the 2008/09 squad by Arsene Wenger and later allowed to make his senior debut against Blackburn Rovers in a 4-0 Premier League victory.

He went to score 14 goals and made 30 assists in 198 appearances for the side across all competitions. It was unfortunate to see the 31-time England international’s career not pan out at North London.

Wilshere currently plays for West Ham United and has a contract till the end of the 2020/21 season.

Arsenal’s Oldest Player

The oldest player to have ever taken the pitch for Arsenal is Jock Rutherford. In a rather confusing set of circumstances, Rutherford ended up coming out of retirement as a player and also leaving Stoke City as their manager at 39 years old.

The Gunners were hosting a retirement party for him when the former Newcastle United player decided to join back instead of coaching a terrible Stoke City side, who at the time were relegated from the top division.

Rutherford had already spent a decade at Arsenal prior to his association with the Potters. On his return to North London as a veteran, he made over 20 appearances across two seasons. He became the club’s oldest player ever by making an appearance on 20 March 1926, aged 41 years and 159 days.

He left Arsenal that summer after scoring 27 goals in 232 total games for the club. Rutherford passed away on 21 April 1963 at 78 years old.

Second Oldest Player In Arsenal’s History

Jens Lehmann is the oldest player to have ever played for Arsenal in the Premier League.

The German came out of retirement on 14 March 2011 when the Gunners were facing an injury crisis in the goalkeeping position. At the time, Arsenal had only Manuel Almunia as their fit shot-stopper with Wojciech Szczesny, Lukasz Fabianski and Vito Mannone all injured.

Lehmann signed on a rolling contract to play till the end of the season only. He ended up making only one appearance for the club against Blackpool before hanging up his boots for good.

Currently, an assistant manager at FC Augsburg, Lehmann did serve in a similar role at the Emirates for the 2017/18 season. He has recorded 200 appearances for the North London club and also 61 caps for the German national team.
