    <p>There was a time when one-club players—those who dedicated the majority of their careers to a single club—were more common in the Premier League. Legends like John Terry at Chelsea, Steven Gerrard at Liverpool, and Tony Adams at Arsenal have set the standard. However, with increasing financial incentives, agents urging players to pursue lucrative transfers, and a rapidly changing football landscape, finding a one-club man has become quite rare.</p>

    <br>
    <p>Nevertheless, some players are demonstrating that loyalty still exists in the English top flight. At <em>Transfermarkt</em>, we have compiled a list of the top 20 longest-serving players currently in the Premier League. You may be surprised to discover who your team's most loyal player is. Additionally, we'll reveal the longest-serving players at the traditional 'Big Six' clubs later in the article.</p>

    <br>
    <h2>Current Longest Serving Players at One Club in the Premier League</h2>
    <br>
    <p>At the top of the list is Everton's club captain, Seamus Coleman. He joined from Sligo Rovers for just €170k in 2008 and has made 422 appearances for the Toffees over 16 years and seven months. In second place is Brighton's captain, Lewis Dunk, who has been with the club for 15 years and three months. Close behind him in third is Brighton winger Solly March, who has been at the club for 12 years and one month.</p>

    <br>
    <p>Fourth on the list is Adam Smith from Bournemouth, who has been with the Cherries for 11 years and six months. Fifth is Luke Shaw from Manchester United, marking 11 years and one month with the Red Devils. In sixth place is Ben Davies from Tottenham, who has also been with his club for 11 years, followed closely by Jamaal Lascelles at Newcastle, who has spent 11 years at the club. Tom Cairney from Fulham comes in eighth, having been with them for 10 years and one month, while Joe Gomez at Liverpool has been at Anfield for 10 years and one month as well. Rounding out the top ten is Ryan Yates, who has spent nine years and one month at Nottingham Forest.</p>

    <br>
    <h2>Longest Serving Players at Traditional 'Big Six' Premier League Clubs</h2>
    <br>
    <p>Among the traditional 'Big Six' clubs, player turnover tends to be higher in their quest for top honors. Leading this group is Luke Shaw, with Manchester City’s John Stones and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah also featuring in the top five. Notably, no Arsenal or Chelsea players make it to the top 10 of this list; Bukayo Saka is Arsenal’s longest-serving player with six years and one month, while Chelsea’s Reece James has also been with the Blues for six years and one month.</p>
