EVERTON'S Ashley Young might go head-to-head with his own son, Tyler, in the FA Cup. This potential father-son clash could be one for the history books as Peterborough travel to Everton in the third round. Here’s what we know about Tyler. Tyler Young is the son of Ashley Young, who plays for Everton.
Born June 4, 2006, the 18-year-old may face his defender father at Goodison Park on January 9, 2025. Young Sr’s Everton have been drawn at home against Peterborough, the League One side where his son, Tyler, has been playing since joining from QPR in Summer 2024.
The teenage midfielder has made just one first-team appearance for Peterborough so far, featuring in the EFL Trophy against Stevenage back in October 2024. Before QPR, he was at MK Dons, and in 2014, he joined the Arsenal Academy. In a fun joint interview packed with trash talk and playful mind games, Young Sr was asked the big question: who's his partner and the rest of the family going to be cheering for?.
He told talkSPORT: "Let's put it this way… they've not got Everton shirts, so they've all gone and leaned towards Tyler's side. "I even think my own parents are actually leaning towards Tyler's side as well. So I'm just out here cheering on myself.". Young Sr, 39, has been busy this season, making 18 appearances for the Toffees since signing a contract extension in the summer.
