Cole is a good call - Yorke didn't become prolific until he was well past 23. 3 current players still to get.

Did Son come straight from South Korea? Can't remember.

From 18 he was at Hamburg then Leverkusen - joined Spurs at 23.

Ah so that counts out my next suggestion of Glenn Hoddle who must be from about 1960 but he did bang in a fair few goals for Tottenham Hotspur.
On reflection my Spurs did spend a couple of seasons in the old Div 2 in the late 70s so that probably is where I might be wrong..

Clive Allen scored a lot of goals for Spurs, Klinsmann too but he arrived later in age

Ian Rush?
Adebayor?

This is Premier League only. So if you're born before 1970 you're too old. Adebayor no but Anelka is tucked away in 28th spot with 25 goals.

Of the 3 current players, all 3 had underwhelming seasons for one reason or another.

Some of the class of '92 must have come close. Giggs? Beckham? Scoles?
