I cannot find sufficient information to tell me if Denayer will qualify in the CL & EPL squads as home grown.
Also, where does Iheanacho figure, does he get in as an U21, (he didn't last year & Manuel left Nasri out after the group stage) in the CL. Same question for EPL.
Thanks in advance

Denayer can play in both squads without needing to be registered. ( he will qualify as clubgrown when he's over 21 provided he's still here )
Kelechi doesn't need registering in the PL squad but I'm not sure about the CL squad because it's not clear what date he officially became a City player.

Bit of an enigma our Kelechi Iheanacho.
Reported that he travelled to England in December 2012 to discuss a move to Manchester City. He signed a pre-contract agreement with the club, stating his intent to formally sign for Manchester City on his 18th birthday in October 2014.
He joined the City Academy on 10 January 2014 but delays in obtaining a work permit meant Iheanacho was unable to play in England until February 2015. Although not formally a Manchester City player, he joined the squad on the 2014-15 pre-season tour of the USA where he made his debut for City.
Make what you will of this but it seems that Kelechis eligibility as a home grown player is a matter between City and the Football authorities. There appears to have been a long standing commitment but a lack of facts in the public domain regarding Kelechis contract means we can only speculate. It would be interesting to hear from someone familiar with eligibility rules as to how they might interpret the rules.

I'd have thought the work permit issue was considered a non-footballing matter (he would have been allowed to train in England prior to that date without a work permit) when it comes to eligibility. Therefore, it would be one of the dates prior to the Feb '15 one. Either Jan '14 or Oct '14.

Can't be the Jan'14 one because if it was then there would have been no need to register him in the CL squad in the January just gone.

I was under the impression Nigeria wont let it's under 18's sign for foreign clubs. So rather than break the law like several other big clubs that have been in the news recently we had to wait until he turned 18.
