TA: The number of clubs in the new Premier League season is no more than 17 players.

July 24th News The Athletic published an article introducing the relevant rules for "local players trained" in the Premier League next season.

What kind of players are considered "local-trained players" recognized by the Premier League?

The determination of the "local-trained player" in the Premier League has nothing to do with nationality. It is defined as a player who has registered with any club under the Football Association of England (FA) or the Football Association of Wales (FAW) before the player's 21st birthday, or before the end of the season at the age of 21, and has so far completed three full seasons.

Not long ago, Arsenal signed Maduaike from Chelsea, and Chelsea signed Brazilian player Joao Pedro from Brighton earlier this month. However, according to Premier League rules, Joao Pedro meets the definition of "local trained players". Because he joined Watford at the age of 18 and has been playing in England since then, he meets this standard. Maduaike played in Eindhoven, Netherlands for a period of time before joining Chelsea, but did not meet the standards of "local trained players". What restrictions do

After the transfer window is closed on September 1, Premier League clubs need to submit a lineup of up to 25 people, of which no more than 17 international players who do not meet the conditions for "local-trained players".

The impact on the summer window of each Premier League team this year

For clubs with a small number of "local trained players", potential signing parties with local trained players or U21 status may be more popular. At the same time, due to the upper limit of 17 non-local trained international players, each club may need to transfer some of these players to introduce new players.
