The Premier League may be done and dusted for the summer but there’s still lots to talk about, including academies.
The FA Cup takes place this weekend between Manchester United and Manchester City, while there will be Euro 2024 next month and Olympic football – featuring Kylian Mbappe – in the summer.
The Premier League is known for its strong depth in football academies, where the players of the future ply their trade hoping for a shot at the big time.
But which global club’s academies have produced the most Premier League playing minutes in the 2023-24 season?
Well of the 273 academies that have contributed it is unsurprising to see Premier League clubs featuring in the top 10, though Flamengo and Barcelona also make this part of the list.
Between places 10 and 20 feature the likes of Paris St Germain, Benfica and Charlton.
Here’s the full list of clubs and the 2023-24 Premier League minutes their academies produced.
