With the summer transfer window now closed, all Premier League clubs had to submit their 25-man squad lists late last week. Each club had to submit a maximum of 25 players with at least eight of them being considered ‘homegrown’.
A homegrown player is defined as someone registered with an English or Welsh club for three full seasons before their 21st birthday. Players under the age of 21 (born on or after January 1, 2004, for the 2025-26 season) are not included in the 25-man squad list, allowing clubs to have a larger number of young players.
After all the turnover in the playing squad at the end of last season, Everton were always going to be light this season, and their list of 23 players submitted contains four goalkeepers, including Harry Tyrer who did not end up going out on loan. Also in the squad is young centrehalf Reece Welch, who will turn 22 in a couple of days.
This does allow the club some leeway however if they want to bring in more players during the January transfer window as they can then resubmit this list.
