5 reasons why Brighton star Lewis Dunk can play in the Premier League

Age for a defender

Dunk may be 24-years-old, but when compared to those his senior, his composure in tight situations do not reveal his true age.

The current Albion defender has still the best part of a decade ahead of him to play at the highest standard, so Premier League clubs could be making a long-term investment if they were to sign him.

The likes of John Terry, Gareth McAuley and Phil Jagielka are all well into their 30’s and are still playing regular first-team football in one of the world’s biggest leagues.

Sure, Dunk isn’t a young academy player coming through the ranks, but with over 150 Brighton appearances to his name, he has the experience required for a long-lasting career in the Premier League.
