In the Premier League, the long -term player with only one club has become rare in recent years. Therefore, Seamus Coleman, Lewis Dunk or Mohamed Salah are very respectable names in the golden age.
In modern football, not many players can stick long -term or lifetime with a club. The players often move the club for financial reasons, achievements or even personal factors. However, some stars still retain love with only one team. This proves that loyalty still exists in a volatile football world.
One of the most notable names in the list of the longest players at a club in the Premier League is Everton's Seamus Coleman, according to Transfermarkt. The Irish player joined Everton from Sligo Rovers in 2008 for only 170,000 euros.
Since then, Coleman has become an integral part of the Everton squad when 422 appearances and becomes the captain of the club. With more than 16 years of working with Everton and experiencing countless coaches, Coleman is currently the longest service player at a club in the Premier League, surpassing other players of loyalty and dedication.
Following Coleman is Brighton's Lewis Dunk, who has devoted 15 years 3 months to the team nicknamed “seabirds”. Also in Brighton, the most senior member after Dunk is Solly March when he has been with this team for 12 years. Both players show that although Brighton is not one of the big men of the Premier League, playing for their favorite clubs always bring them freshness, desire and want to dedicate every time they play.
In addition, other players also stand out on this list such as Bournemouth's Adam Smith, MU's Luke Shaw and Ben Davies of Tottenham. These players have devoted to the most beautiful years of their career to the host clubs.
In particular, Luke Shaw, despite having experienced a lot of storms at Manchester United, maintained its position in the squad and was one of the longest players at this club, with a period of 11 years and 1 month.
A remarkable point in the list is the absence of players from Arsenal and Chelsea. Arsenal has Bukayo Saka who is the longest player with 6 years a month, while Chelsea has Rece James, who has the same time.
