According to the Premier League rules, each team’s squad list should contain at least 8 homegrown players. Thus, the number of players who do not fulfil the “Home Grown Player” (HGP) criteria should not surpass 17.
Furthermore, each club should register an additional list of U21 players who are eligible for the first-team selection throughout the season over and above the 25-man senior squad.
For instance, in Chelsea’s case, the likes of Reece James, Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Billy Gilmour are registered within the U21 list.
