UK law no longer recognises an EU citizen as being any different from any other non-UK citizen in terms of right to work in the UK.
So right to work in the UK is the key element a foreign player must have in place to be signed from 18 (a PL club can not register a foreign player before their 18th birthday) and loaned out to a club outside the English FA'S jurisdiction.
As EU citizens no longer have an automatic right to work in the UK the only way you'd achieve this is to have a UK work permit approved and in place prior to the loan abroad, which under the established criteria for work permits to be approved for foreign footballers need to be able to demonstrate the foreign worker is going to add to the English game which was
usually demonstrated by having so many senior or international appearances.
However the PL worked with the home office to make changes to the work permit criteria for footballers to make it easier to get one (in anticipation of English clubs losing access to recruiting the best European talent)...and Football London appear to suggest Vuskovic could have qualified for a UK permit under the new rules from his 18th birthday so he could still end up being "home grown" if that's the case...
and not fudging pass the ball backwards 90% of the time. I want someone the rest of the team have confidence in playing into him.
