Last season, Alexander-Arnold, Kelleher and Jaros were all registered as such, contributing to Liverpool's homegrown quota in both the Premier League and Champions League.
Interestingly, several Under-21s who qualify as homegrown are coming of age ahead of the new season.
Harvey Elliott, Conor Bradley, Luca Stephenson, Fabian Mrozek and James Balagizi will all need to be included in Liverpool's 25-man squad if Slot wants to select them for Premier League or Champions League matches.
Summer signing Frimpong also qualifies due to his time at the Man City academy.
Currently, Liverpool has 11 senior players who are considered homegrown in the Premier League, with all but one classified as 'club-trained' in the Champions League
This means that clubs must name at least eight homegrown players if they want to register a full 25-man squad.
Similarly, for the Champions League, clubs must select at least eight 'locally-trained players' to name a full 25-man squad
However, academy player Rio Ngumoha could also be selected, as he does not yet qualify for a place on 'List B', which is reserved for Under-21s players.
So, it appears that Liverpool is currently meeting their homegrown quotas with 11 current players qualifying for such status
A closer examination of the 11 players in question reveals that it wouldn't be a shock if most of them also depart from the club this summer, including Elliott and Gomez.
If all eight were to leave, Liverpool would be left with only Jones, Frimpong and Bradley as homegrown players, limiting them to a maximum 20-man senior squad.
This shrinking pool of senior homegrown talent is likely one of the factors behind Liverpool's decision to bring in Frimpong as a replacement for Alexander-Arnold.
Similarly, this is one reason why Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi has caught the eye at Anfield as he enters his contract's final year
