History

Historical Context

In 2004, 18-year-old Wayne Rooney left Everton for Manchester United in a £25.6 million deal, becoming the Premier League’s youngest scorer and prompting Sir Alex Ferguson to champion youth-first policies. The 2024 loan of 19-year-old Jeremy Monga from Manchester City to Swansea echoes that model, showing Premier League clubs still rely on teenage forwards to gain experience and boost market value.
