I believe its 18, but I think in England they can be signed at 17. There's an unspoken rule between the G-14 member clubs not to poach each other's youth, but that hasn't stopped the big teams from poaching midtable clubs, causing Palermo's president Zamparini to declare English clubs "a bunch of pirates."
