25-Man Squad – August 2019
With under 24 hours to go until the close of the transfer window I thought I would revisit the 25-man squad situation which I outlined previously here.
As it stands we have 24 players who would need to be named in our 25-man squad. And this is all fine because we have nine homegrown players.
| Hugo Lloris | 26/12/1986 | 32 |
| Jan Vertonghen | 24/04/1987 | 32 |
| Toby Alderweireld | 02/03/1989 | 30 |
| Moussa Sissoko | 16/08/1989 | 29 |
| Danny Rose (HG) | 02/07/1990 | 29 |
| Victor Wanyama | 25/06/1991 | 28 |
| Paulo Gazzaniga | 02/01/1992 | 27 |
| Christian Eriksen | 14/02/1992 | 27 |
| Erik Lamela | 04/03/1992 | 27 |
| Heung-min Son | 08/07/1992 | 27 |
| Lucas Moura | 13/08/1992 | 26 |
| Serge Aurier | 24/12/1992 | 26 |
| Ben Davies (HG) | 24/04/1993 | 26 |
| Harry Kane (HG) | 28/07/1993 | 26 |
| Eric Dier | 15/01/1994 | 25 |
| Georges-Kévin N’Koudou | 13/02/1995 | 24 |
| Harry Winks (HG) | 02/02/1996 | 23 |
| Dele Alli (HG) | 11/04/1996 | 23 |
| Davinson Sánchez | 12/06/1996 | 23 |
| Tanguy Ndombele | 28/12/1996 | 22 |
| Anthony Georgiou (HG) | 24/02/1997 | 22 |
| Kyle Walker-Peters (HG) | 13/04/1997 | 22 |
| Joshua Onomah (HG) | 27/04/1997 | 22 |
| Cameron Carter-Vickers (HG) | 31/12/1997 | 21 |
Basically all of this means that we can sign one more non-homegrown player without worrying a jot about the squad. If we were to sign more than one more player, someone would have to be left out of the squad. This should not be a problem with Onomah likely to move on permanently, and Georgiou and Carter-Vickers likely to move on loan.
We have 15 non-homegrown players currently, but that includes Nkoudou who is likely to leave. We can name 17 in our Premier League squad. So the only thing that may get us into a bit of bother is if we were to go on a major spree and not manage to offload anyone. Otherwise, we have squad space and need not worry.
