What Tottenham's three summer transfers mean for non-homegrown quota and Fabio Paratici plans

Tottenham fans are extremely excited ahead of the 2022/23 season with the club very active in the transfer market so far. Luring Ivan Perisic to north London on a free transfer from Inter Milan, Spurs then completed a similar deal for Fraser Forster with his Southampton contract expiring.

It wasn't long before Fabio Paratici was in action again, this time managing to strike a deal with Brighton & Hove Albion for midfielder Yves Bissouma. A standout player for the Seagulls in the past couple of years, the addition of the 25-year-old has handed Tottenham a midfield upgrade and they really are going to be a force to be reckoned with in the middle of the park.

More deals are expected to follow in the coming weeks but it is all going to be about Paratici balancing things out in terms of the club's homegrown and non-homegrown player numbers, as they have a set of strict requirements to meet when it comes to naming a Premier League and Champions League squad. Tottenham have had plenty of problems with this in the past, notably seeing both Mauricio Pochettino and Jose Mourinho having to leave out players in Europe due to the club exceeding the required quota.
