FULL LIST: 10 new EPL players to watch this season

In the 2026/27 Premier League season, several new players have joined top-flight clubs across England. Johan Manzambi, a Swiss attacking midfielder, has joined Aston Villa from Freiburg. The 20-year-old made a significant impact at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, helping Switzerland reach the quarter-finals and becoming the youngest player in 60 years to score five goals.

Antonio Silva, a highly rated Portuguese centre-back, has moved from Benfica to Bournemouth, replacing Marcos Senesi. Playing for Benfica's 2022/23 title-winning side, Silva has earned 20 caps for Portugal. Brentford signed Mamadou Sangare, a French Ligue 1 standout midfielder, who won the Marc-Vivien Foe Award and ranked second in Ligue 1 for tackles and third for ground duels.

Brighton's new centre-back, Luka Vuskovic, scored six goals in the Bundesliga last season and could become one of Brighton's most exciting young players. Coventry City added Ghanaian midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi, who earned 15 senior caps for his country and scored a stoppage-time winner in his World Cup debut. Everton signed midfielder Hayden Hackney, who played a key role in Middlesbrough's Championship play-off final run and was named Player of the Year.

Fulham signed Gonzalo Garcia from Real Madrid, who made 30 LaLiga appearances and scored six goals last season. Liverpool welcomed Spanish winger Victor Munoz from Osasuna, who can operate on either wing or through the middle. Newcastle United acquired Ivory Coast winger Bazoumana Toure from Hoffenheim, who provided nine assists last season.

Finally, Nottingham Forest brought in Ivory Coast defender Ousmane Diomande from Sporting Lisbon, who won back-to-back league titles and reached the Champions League quarter-finals.
