From Mbaye to Fofana: The new signings who could debut in the Premier League this weekend | OneFootball

The Premier League is barely a fortnight old, yet a raft of deadline-day arrivals could get first outings this weekend.

According to NY Times, Aston Villa’s refresh features 18-year-old Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris Saint-Germain, whose early career already includes a World Cup goal for Senegal against France.

Manchester City’s influx could be on show. Iliman Ndiaye arrives from Everton in a deal worth up to £65 million and may benefit from Jeremy Doku’s calf absence. Enzo Fernandez, a £125 million signing, reunites with Enzo Maresca, while 22-year-old Allan Elias adds versatile depth.

Mykhailo Mudryk has joined Tottenham on loan from Chelsea, the first direct move between the rivals since 2009. Cleared to return on 31 July after an anti-doping case was resolved, the 25-year-old now links up again with Roberto De Zerbi.

Brighton have signed Femi Azeez from Millwall for a package exceeding £15 million. The 25-year-old produced 11 goals and seven assists last season and should strengthen their UEFA Conference League campaign.

Jack Grealish returns to Everton on loan after a foot injury cut short last season. Manchester City’s £100 million 2021 signing helped deliver the 2022-23 treble, and with his deal up next summer the 30-year-old has a point to prove.

Newcastle’s 21-year-old Matias Fernandez-Pardo, a pacey, flexible forward, was finally secured on deadline day and could face Bournemouth at Saturday lunchtime. Sunderland landed Malick Fofana from Lyon on a five-year deal despite late interest from Crystal Palace, and he may debut at Brentford today.
