The only players younger than 23 to score 10 or more Premier League goals last season were all English. Alongside Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, 19, were Mason Mount, 22, and Emile Smith-Rowe, 21.
Chelsea's Mount recorded 11 goals and 10 assists, both personal bests for him, whilst Saka also scored 11 times, assisting seven. Smith-Rowe's true breakout season saw him score five times more goals than he did in 2020/21, but with just two assists.
These impressive figures have led to all three youngsters being involved for Gareth Southgate's England squads over the course of last season. Mount and Saka were both regulars, making 10 and nine appearances for the Three Lions last season respectively, whilst Smith Rowe made his debut in November, playing three matches and starting one before a poor end to the season and he was used in the U21 squad in the last set of Nations League fixtures.
