Longest-serving player at each Prem club includes forgotten Arsenal and Tottenham stars with combined 19-year stays

IT’S rare to find a classic “one club man” in the Premier League anymore.

The days of Ryan Giggs and Tony Adams are gone with clubs always shopping around for the world’s best talent.

And that means that players don’t often stick around at their clubs for very long at all.

But some still find a stadium they can call home and decide to stay put for as long as they possibly can.

Here SunSport looks at each Premier League club’s current longest-serving player and there’s certainly a few surprising inclusions.

Including forgotten stars from both the red and white sides of North London.

Wolves – Max Kilman

Despite only arriving at the Molineux from Maidenhead United in 2018, Kilman is the current longest-serving player at Wolves with four years and nine months at the club. 4y 9m
