Newcastle United submit official Premier League document confirming two signings & shock £15M addition

Newcastle United’s left-back, signed for £15 million in 2020, is nearing the end of his contract, having last played a competitive match in the 2022-23 season. His absence from recent lineups signals a likely departure when his deal expires.

Premier League regulations require clubs to submit a 25-man squad list after each transfer window, ensuring only registered senior players can participate in league matches.

This rule mandates that at least eight squad members qualify as homegrown, defined as players registered with an English FA-affiliated club for at least three years before turning 21.

For the 2024-25 season, Newcastle’s squad comprises 24 senior players, with additional flexibility provided by under-21 players who can feature without registration. This benefits the team, given the reliance on young talent due to injuries.

Notably, Lewis Miley and Lewis Hall remain eligible to play without being listed, along with academy prospects Ben Parkinson and Trevan Sanusi, who have already featured in first-team matches.

The recent departures of Miguel Almirón and Lloyd Kelly have reduced Newcastle’s senior squad size, but the club has reinforced its youth ranks by signing Kyle Fitzgerald from Galway United and Baran Yildiz from Gençlerbirligi. Though these signings remain unannounced by the club, their inclusion in the Premier League squad list confirms the transfers.

Newcastle’s official 24-man squad includes five goalkeepers and 15 homegrown players, ensuring compliance with league requirements. The roster breakdown is as follows:

Newcastle’s squad remains well-balanced with experienced players and emerging talent. The flexibility provided by under-21 prospects ensures depth while allowing the team to navigate injuries effectively.

As the season progresses, squad adjustments could occur, but the club appears well-prepared for domestic and league challenges.
