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.
UEFA defines locally-trained or ‘home grown’ players as those who, regardless of their nationality, have been trained by their club or by another club in the same national association for at least three years between the age of 15 and 21. Up to half of the locally-trained players must be from the club itself, with the others being either from the club itself or from other clubs in the same association.
Clubs have no obligation to put a certain number of home grown players on the field of play during matches, or even include them on the match sheet. They are completely free in their team and match day squad selection.

Started a Spurs career and signed Noni Madueke. No home grown status?
I signed Madueke and on his info page it says he is home grown in nation (England) however he doesn't count towards it in European squad registration? Bug or misunderstanding?
English homegrown ≠ Champions League homegrown. The English rule doesn’t have a minimum age, the CL one starts at 15.
