In accordance with the September 14 deadline, Arsenal have confirmed their squad for the campaign with Mikel Arteta now knowing without uncertainty who he can choose from, depending on availability of course, to try and claim the title and steal it from Manchester City's tough grip. The club had to name a 25-man squad, within it could not contain any more than 17 non-homegrown players.

As per regulations, to be considered homegrown, players need to have been registered with any club affiliated to The Football Association or the Welsh FA for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons, or 36 months, before his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21).
