The Premier League returned to action yesterday and the game between Sunderland and Hull City included a league debut for Hull's 17-years-old Josh Tymon . What's more, the young lad earns just £150-a-week which makes him one of the lowest paid players in the Premier League history.
The club are languishing in the bottom three after being beaten by fellow-basement battlers Sunderland, but handed a debut to Tymon after he impressed during FA Cup ties and being rewarded with a contract last year.
Tymon started for Mike Phelan's side playing over an hour of football before being substituted though his performances aren't going unnoticed. It's believed that both Arsenal and Everton are tracking the progress of the budding star.
