PL Squad

Arsenal has submitted a 22-man squad to the Premier League in accordance with new rules which came into force last season.

Top-flight clubs must register a squad of up to 25 players for league games, which must include no more than 17 'non-homegrown' players.

'Homegrown' players are defined as those who, irrespective of nationality or age, have been affiliated to the FA or Welsh FA for a period of three seasons or 36 months prior to their 21st birthday.

All others are registered on the list of players under the age of 21

This is the squad Arsenal have submitted to the Premier League:
