10
Martin de lavka (Newcastle)
36 years, 1 month
Martin Dubravka is in and out of the Newcastle United team, standing mostly in Nick Pope, whenever Toon No. 1 is injured.

6
Adam Lalana (Southampton)
36 years, 9 months, 26 days
Adam Lalana’s Premier League career could follow Southampton’s relegation in 2025. This is not a big surprise considering that at age 37 you won’t be given another pyramid move.

Johnny Evans (Man Utd)

He will likely need to go out to another top flight club to climb the rankings, for promotion clubs looking for an experienced head.

Lukasz Fabianski (West Ham)
40 years, 1 month
Lukasz Fabianski is now in his 40s and it seems strange to think he joined British football as an Arsenal young man in 2007.
He leaves West Ham United after seven years of service in East London, but not before he put the Premier League charts on top in 2024/25 as the oldest player in the competition.
It’s barely a badge of honor, but it speaks to the enduring qualities of Paul, who still can hack it at the top level.
