Arsenal name final 25-man Premier League squad for 2014/15 season

North London based Arsenal have named their 25-man squad and Arsene Wenger’s men look like they mean business this season. With a solid defence and a free-flowing attacking game, Arsenal is a team that can be devastating at its best or otherwise make it difficult for other teams.

The injury of their main striker Olivier Giroud is a cause of concern, but they seem to have found a suitable replacement in England International and former Manchester United player Danny Welbeck.

Premier League squad rules

1. A club cannot have more than 17 foreign players who don’t fall under the 'Home Grown Player' status.
2. A club can name as many U-21s as they like, even over and above the limit of 25 players.
3. To qualify as a home-grown player, a player must have been registered with any club tied to the Football Association or Football Association of Wales for at least three whole seasons or 36 months, all before they turn 21. However, it does not have to have been in one continuous stretch.
