Do Chelsea have the youngest squad in the league? Answered

According to Transfermarkt, the average age of Chelsea's senior players is just a little more than 23 years. The Blues have the youngest squad in the Premier League.

Here are the Premier League's 5 youngest teams:

West Ham are Prem's 'oldest' team with the players aged 27.6 years on average.

The fact that the Blues have so many young and inexperienced players could be one of the reasons why they are currently struggling so hard. The squad lacks balance and experience and has too few players in their prime.

Obviously, that's a small comfort for Chelsea fans who want their team to get back to the league's elite. But it gives hope that the banter era the Blues are entering now, is going to end soon.
