Is he able to play in the league? What is the squad size and non homegrown players looking like? I thought it didn't matter because he is u21 but you have to have been registered for 2 years.
He's registered in the squad as an U21 player
Each club’s squad must contain no more than 17 players who do not fulfil the "Home Grown Player" (HGP) criteria. The rest of the squad, up to a total of 25 players, must be "Home Grown".
What is a 'Home Grown Player'?
A "Home Grown Player" means a player who, irrespective of nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to The Football Association or the Football Association of Wales for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons, or 36 months, before his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21).
A club’s Under-21 players are not included on the 25-man squad lists and are eligible to play in the Premier League.
What constitutes an Under-21 player?
For the 2024/25 Premier League season, Under-21 players will have been born on or after 1 January 2003.
