I’d presume the actual requirement is ‘home grown at an a English club’ rather than actually English. In that context Brooks, Ake and King are not ‘foreign’
Obviously there’s some grey shades over what constitutes ‘foreign’ is this context.
The current AFCB squad includes;
Boruc (Poland)
Begovic (Bosnia)
Ake (Netherlands)
Rico (Spain)
Lerma (Colombia)
Brooks (Wales)
Fraser (Scotland)
King (Norway)
Mousset (France)
