Arsenal will have space to sign two top players from Europe that have not played in England thanks to William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli. The two youngsters will be registered as homegrown next season, which will give the Gunners a major boost.
Both Saliba and Martinelli joined the club in Edu’s first transfer window as Arsenal’s technical director in 2019. This means that both players will be considered as homegrown due to them being registered in three squads before turning 21-years-old.
The Premier League states that clubs must have at least eight homegrown players. Arsenal have gone further to ensure this with the status of Martinelli and Saliba, which will also allow Edu to strengthen in the summer without the stress about the homegrown factor.
