The Premier League has strict regulations regarding squad lists for the upcoming season. Clubs must submit a 25-player squad list, with a minimum of eight players meeting the league's 'home grown player' criteria. A player qualifies as home grown if they have been registered with an English or Welsh club for three full seasons before their 21st birthday. Under-21 players do not need to be included in the 25-man squad and can play throughout the season for their respective teams.
The summer transfer window is approaching its final week, with clubs having until September 1 to finalize any trading. Following a bonus mini-window in June for the Club World Cup, the primary transfer period opened on June 16 for Premier League and EFL clubs. This year, the window will close at the earlier time of 7pm, allowing clubs a two-hour grace period to complete any late deals if deal sheets are submitted before the deadline. Stay tuned for all the transfer deadline day action and updates on The Athletic.
