Newcastle United’s 25-man squad for the 2024-25 season has been announced, excluding a £43 million pair due to Premier League regulations.
Eddie Howe must choose 25 senior players to be eligible to play in the Premier League for Newcastle in time for their next match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on September 15 (4:30pm kick-off). Premier League rules require squads to be submitted on Friday, September 13.
Players born on or after January 1, 2003 do not need to be named in a Premier League 25-man squad and no more than 17 players who do not fill the homegrown player criteria can be
included.
Newcastle have recently secured loan exits for the likes of Harrison Ashby and Joe White as well as a deadline day transfer for Ryan Fraser. Jamal Lewis is set for a move to Sao Paulo while Isaac Hayden is still looking for a new club abroad and won’t be named in Newcastle’s 25-man squad, even if there is space.
Newcastle have four first-team players that do not need to be named in the 25-man squad due to their age. They are 18-year-old Lewis Miley, 20-year-old Alex Murphy, 19-year-old Lewis Hall and 21-year-old summer signing Will Osula.
Any player contracted to the club born after January 1, 2003 is eligible to play in the Premier League without being named in the squad.
Last season, Tino Livramento did not need to be named in the squad but must now be included as he turns 22 later this year.
Excluding Jamal Lewis and Isaac Hayden, Newcastle have 25 senior players contracted to the club following the end of the transfer window. While Eddie Howe can’t add to his squad, departures could still be confirmed while transfer windows remain open abroad.
Newcastle’s Premier League squad as things stand will feature five goalkeepers following the summer arrivals of John Ruddy and Odysseas Vlachodimos as well as long-term absentees Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman, who could be out of action until early 2025 with ACL injuries.
