AI summary
Arsenal have flexibility to bolster their squad outside the transfer window thanks to Premier League registration rules. After a busy summer that brought in Bruno Guimaraes, Ezri Konsa and Christos Tzolis, Mikel Arteta named only 22 of the permitted 25 senior players, leaving room for free-agent signings subject to Premier League Board approval. With exactly 14 non-homegrown players registered, three non-homegrown slots remain available, meaning the club need not restrict themselves to homegrown additions. Arteta also has unlimited access to unregistered under-21 players for league matches, providing further depth options.
