Premier League squad rules offer insight into Ange Postecoglou's first Tottenham transfer window

One thing Tottenham do not have to worry about heading into the 2023/24 season is the problematic non-homegrown player rules in Europe which have plagued them in the past. As the regulations do differ slightly between the Premier League and UEFA competition, Spurs have been in a position previously where they have had to cut players from their 25-man European squad.

Not an ideal situation for the head coach to be in when he's required to tell a certain individual that they will not feature for the club in Europe, Tottenham have worked hard in the transfer market over the past couple of years to make sure it is a thing of the past. Although not involved in Europe next campaign after finishing in eighth, the Lilywhites will still have to comply with the Premier League's rules when it comes to naming a squad.

As is the case in Europe, Tottenham will need to submit a 25-man squad to the Premier League in order for their players to be eligible to play in the competition next term. Clubs cannot name more than 17 non-homegrown players on the list and the remainder of the squad, up to a total of 25 players, must be homegrown.
