Think he was 14 when he came to us, it only counts between 15 & 21 (although they may yet reduce it to 18).Didn't he spent time at Watford before coming to City ?

Club trained is defined as 3 years with a club between ages 15-21, so no he doesn't qualify currently.
Sancho was 17 when he left us so I'm fairly certain he's not homegrown anyway? I'm less certain on Duncan who had just turned 18 in June but can't remember if he had a period when he couldn't play for Liverpool due to their youth ban? Perhaps I've got my dates mixed up.
You have to spend three years at an English club to be classed as homegrown and Sancho only spend two years with us. If he signed for us next summer then he’d qualify as homegrown and club trained after 12 months, but if he signed for us (or another PL) club when he was 21 he’d always be considered ‘foreign’.
