Welcome.
Great start, but actually not much correct.
Jesus qualified for UEFA B list in February still being U21.
Now he is 22 and from now on counts as non-HG for CL and PL.

As of now we have 1 free non-HG spot after Vincent left, reserved for Rodri if you ask me.
Zin came back from PSV 2 years ago. He was never ever close to becoming HG.
Please do your homework first on that difficult HG matter before confusing anyone on here.
Back on topic.
wow, ok, is that the level of hostility of reaponses here? for a well meant point? ok.
valid point on jesus on B-list in february, but, there was really no need to put him on the a-list as he was u21, so fit the b-list criteria. i do still believe he will count as a home grown player this season, as he spent 3 years with us prior to turning 21 (or the season he turns 21 in, which counts too). i.e he can be 22, and if thats his third year, still count as home grown, if he spent 3 years with us up to that point. Including on loan, just like angelino.
my understanding is jesus was bought in the summer and loaned back to his club till december. im sure our club would have known the rules then, and timed it accordingly.
the same applies to zinchenko, his loan time counts, which is why i mentioned it. but as i said, i havent checked that one, depends on the timing of his birthday.
happy to be proved wrong, but i do believe jesus is now home grown. similarly, you are totally welcome to ignore or dismiss my understanding of it. i guess we will know for certain at the end of the summer when the lists are out.
