The Premier League Under 18 competition has two divisions this season with Manchester United currently leading the North Division and Fulham leading the South. Here are the top scorers in the league at present -
Layton Stewart - 18 years old - 13 goals for Liverpool
Scoring lots of goals for his home City club. A player with huge amounts of potential.
Dane Scarlett - 16 years old - 12 goals for Tottenham Hotspur
Scarlett has also scored 2 goals in 2 Premeir League 2 u23 games for this season. He has represented England at u15 and u16 level. He was Spur's youngest ever player when coming on in the Europa League game played against Ludogrets in November when he was 16 years old and 247 days. This only last until January when ALFIE DEVINE who is another highly promising player came on in the FA Cup game against Marine aged 16 and 163 days. Scarlett also scored 5 goals for the u18s in their recent FA Youth Cup win over Newport County.
Jude Soonsup-Bell - 17 years old - 11 goals for Chelsea
Signed for the West London club as an u13 from Swindon Town's academy. Contracted until June 2023. He scored four goals in the FA Youth Cup win over Barnsley earlier in the season and has also scored in a PL2 u23 game. An England u16 International.
Tai Sodje - 17 years old - 9 goals for Manchester City
Striker with bags of pace who can play on the left or right wing. Already scoring lots of goals for City's under 18 side.
Brad Young - 18 years old - 8 goals for Aston Villa
Was one of the crop of young players who played in the recent Liverpool FA Cup match at Villa Park.
Josh Coburn - 18 years old - 8 goals for Middlesbrough
David Omilabu - 18 years old - 8 goals for Crystal Palace
Charlie McNeill - 17 years old - 8 goals for Manchester United
Described as a 'wonder kid' in many reports. He was signed for a fee of £750,000 that could rise to £1,500,000 from Manchester City in the summer of 2020 - He already has a sponsorship deal with Adidas that reportedly could earn him over £1,000,000. He was originally part of United's academy before his spell with rival's City in 2014. The Red Devils fought off competition from Italian and German clubs to bring him back to Old Trafford. McNeill is likely to become a real fan's favourite with the United faithful due to him turning down City. Could he be the next Marcus Rashford (first team debut at 18 years old) or Mason Greenwood who made his first team debut aged just 17.
