Tottenham Hotspur still have plenty of work to do if they do not wish to fall foul of the Premier League’s squad rules, with respect to homegrown players.Spurs have spent £237m on six signings so far this summer, but none of the six players that have arrived is homegrown.We have seen some high-profile departures over recent weeks from Hotspur Way, and reports indicate that five more senior Tottenham stars could leave over the coming weeks.However, as Tottenham look to put the finishing touches to their squad ahead of Roberto De Zerbi’s first full season in charge, they must be mindful of the Premier League squad rules.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramTottenham have four more non-homegrown players than they are allowedFootball.London’s Alasdair Gold explains that not qualifying for Europe makes squad construction a little easier for Spurs as the Premier League’s rules are more relaxed than UEFA’s.That is mainly down to the club’s U21 players not needing to be named in Tottenham’s 25-man list, but still being eligible to play in the Premier League.That means that the likes of Souza, Mason Melia, Mikey Moore, Will Lanksear, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Mathys Tel can all go on that under-21s list if they remain at Spurs.However, Gold points out that the Lilywhites currently have 21 non-homegrown players in their squad, while the Premier League rules only allow 17 per squad.That is something that the North Londoners will have to be mindful of as they continue scouring the market for potential additions over the next few weeks.Spurs have the exact minimum number of homegrown players allowedGold also explains that Premier League rules require each squad to have a minimum of eight homegrown players.Tottenham have exactly that many, with Dominic Solanke, Kevin Danso, Brandon Austin, Ben Davies, James Maddison, Conor Gallagher, Djed Spence, and Dane Scarlett falling into that category.While Danso is not considered homegrown for European competitions, he is considered homegrown in the Premier League since he spent his formative years in the Southampton academy.READ MORE: ‘Tottenham nearly went down’ – Gary Neville hits back at Cristian Romero for ‘stupid’ commentThe post Tottenham may be about to run into homegrown problem again after summer splurge appeared first on Spurs Web.
