Five Players to Watch Across Europe

With the return of Premier League action upon us, we’ve picked out five fresh faces in England’s top flight for football fans to watch out for. It has been another interesting summer transfer window, with big clubs battling out for the best buys.

Here are our top tips to make a splash:

Players To Watch

Players To Watch

Arda Guler

Arda Guler (Real Madrid)

Arda Guler's arrival at Real Madrid in 2023 was overshadowed by the big-money capture of fellow teenager Jude Bellingham a month earlier, and while the Englishman has established himself as a key member of Los Blancos' line-up, Guler has had to bide his time for opportunities in Spain.

But the left-footed playmaker, dubbed the 'Turkish Messi', began to earn himself a regular spot in Carlo Ancelotti's starting XI towards the end of last season and, with Luka Modric having now left, the 20-year-old will be expected to kick on next term under new boss Xabi Alonso.

Jobe Bellingham

Jobe Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund)

Another player for whom the shadow of Jude Bellingham looms large is the England star's younger brother Jobe. Still a teenager, Jobe has followed in his brother's footsteps by becoming the latest rising star to continue his footballing development at Borussia Dortmund.

The similarities with his brother are clear to see and Jobe will hope to make the same impression in Bundesliga after helping Sunderland win promotion to the Premier League last season before moving to Germany for what could be a bargain price of around £30million.

Samu Aghehowa

Samu Aghehowa (Porto)

Porto, like Dortmund and many Portuguese clubs, have made a lucrative habit of turning raw promise into valuable assets and Samu could be the club's next big-money transfer to one of Europe's top sides. Having joined from Atletico Madrid in 2024 for an initial 15 million euros but with a reported 100 million euros buy-out clause in his contract,

Samu will not come cheap but if he can repeat his impressive form in Portugal - he scored 27 goals in all competitions last season and twice on the opening day of this campaign - then the powerful 21-year-old Spain international will have no shortage of suitors.

Jonathan David

Jonathan David (Juventus)

Canada striker David has been a prolific marksman since moving to Europe, netting almost 150 goals across seven seasons at Gent and Lille, and he was linked with a host of clubs this summer after becoming a free agent. Juventus won the race for the 25-year-old, and he will now get the chance to see if he can show his goalscoring pedigree on one of the toughest stages around.

He said about the prospect of playing in Serie A at his Juve presentation: "It's more tactical here, there's more attention paid defensively, but my goal is to score a lot here as well. I want to become one of the best forwards in the world and I believe I'm in the right place."

Roony Bardghji

Roony Bardghji (Barcelona)

Already boasting some of the game's best young talent, Barcelona added Swedish rising star Bardghji to their stable this summer from Danish champions FC Copenhagen. The Kuwait-born forward hit the headlines in 2023 at the age of 17 with a dramatic late winner against Manchester United in the Champions League and has regularly been the subject of transfer speculation, but a serious knee suffered in training saw him sidelined for almost a year.

He has since returned to action and, having scored on his first Barca appearance during pre-season, the Catalan club will hope the reported 2 million euros they spent on the 19-year-old will reap handsome dividends.
