The fourth round of the Premier League is about to return in full swing! On weekend match day, after the two-week international match day, many new players from the Premier League teams are expected to make their debut! Since the summer transfer window of the five major leagues closed on September 2, many finalists have not yet obtained the chance to play in the Premier League. So what are the highlights of this weekend’s Premier League? Let’s take a look at it next!
Seven strong players are looking forward to their debut
1. Walter Mad! "Transfer Market" lists many major premium signings this summer, and Walter Made is on the list! Waltermad is currently worth 30 million euros, and the actual cost of this transfer reaches 85 million euros, with a transfer premium of up to 55 million euros! Newcastle United set a record for signings in team history, and Walter Mad became the benchmark in Newcastle's history!
The just ended international match day, the World Cup qualifiers, Germany defeated Northern Ireland 3-1. Newcastle's new player Walter Mad started, representing Germany for 61 minutes. The player touched the ball 16 times in one hour and lost the ball 9 times. He only succeeded in 8 matches. He scored 0 shots and 0 right shots in the whole game! Newcastle United coach Eddie Howe has been prepared for a long time: "Waltermad will have a period of adaptation, and we need to understand that it is difficult for players to integrate immediately!"
Possible debut time: September 13th 22:00
Match: Newcastle United vs. Wolves
2. Isaac! The finale of the transfer window is Liverpool's record of British transfer fee of £125 million, signing striker Isaac from Newcastle on the deadline. The Telegraph said that Isaac's 125 million pounds were paid to Newcastle in four installments, and the additional fee could reach 130 million pounds! The busy second half of September is about to start, and the Reds Liverpool will face a week-long double match. As the Champions League is about to start, Liverpool will welcome the devilish schedule of 17 days and 6 games in September. The good thing for Liverpool is that there are almost no injuries in the team, and new aid Isaac has also resumed training.
Isaac's training window has been held, and it has not played for more than three months, and has not made a debut in the first round of the European qualifiers. How is the state become the biggest question! Last season, Isaac, who was only 25 years old, performed amazingly at Newcastle United. He played in 34 games in the Premier League, scored 23 goals, and sent 6 assists, and averaged 2.9 shots and 1.2 key passes per game, with a pass success rate of 77.1%. With such a highlight performance, he was elected the best in the game five times, with an average score of up to 7.30 points! Now, Isaac will embark on a new Premier League journey at Liverpool, and different tactical systems and teammate configurations will bring new challenges and opportunities. I wonder what kind of report card he will deliver in the new season?
Possible debut time:
September 14 21:00
Match: Burnley vs. Liverpool
3. Sancho! After the first three rounds of the new season, Villa only scored 1 point and ranked 19th in the Premier League standings. After failing to score in a key match with Manchester United in May, this means that Villa under Emery has not scored in four games! Sancho traveled to Chelsea and Manchester United, but eventually stayed in the Premier League! After three rounds of the new season, Villa is the only team in England's top 7 leagues without goals, signing three players Lindelof, Elliott and Sancho. Emery hopes that these three can bring depth and vitality to the team.
Sancho Red Devils was loaned out for the third time in his career. In the second half of the 2023-24 season, he returned to Dortmund on loan; then spent last season at Chelsea. Therefore, this transfer will be his third loan out of Manchester United's career! Sancho joined Manchester United from Dortmund in the summer of 2021, and Manchester United paid him a transfer fee of 85 million euros. Sancho has played 83 games for Manchester United so far, handing over 12 goals and 6 assists. Whether Aston Villa can revive the second spring is worth looking forward to!
Possible debut time: September 13th 22:00
Match: Everton vs. Aston Villa
IV. Ghanacho! Garnacho sold to Chelsea for £40 million, but that would have been higher if it weren't for Manchester United's rush to sell. In 2020, Manchester United spent 420,000 pounds to sign 16-year-old Garnacho from Atletico Madrid, and five years later, Manchester United sold it to Chelsea for 40 million pounds! According to Chelsea's official website, Argentine winger Garnacho has officially joined and will play in the No. 49 jersey.
Garnacho is expected to make his debut in Chelsea away against Brentford on September 13, with the player choosing the No. 49 jersey, the number he wore in the first two seasons with Manchester United team. Garnacho is 21 years old, an Argentine winger, and is now worth 45 million euros. Last season, Garnacho played 58 games for Manchester United, scoring 11 goals and 10 assists! Transfer to Chelsea permanently, Garnacho needs to perform in his debut and compete for his job!
5. Muani! 26-year-old Paris center Muani has officially announced his joining Tottenham, with the transfer format being 5 million euros pure loan for one season! Juventus initially proposed a paid rental + selective buyout plan, with a total amount of about 50 million euros, but Paris always insisted on a forced buyout, and the deal eventually failed, and Tottenham ushered in the final opportunity to strengthen!
Muani joined Paris from Frankfurt for 95 million euros in the summer window of 2023, and was loaned to Juventus by Paris last season. During his time at Juventus, he made 22 appearances and contributed 10 goals and 3 assists. Currently, Muanid's turnover price is 30 million euros. Muani said: "I feel very happy and proud to join a great club like Tottenham. I can't wait to meet Tottenham's teammates and fans and step onto the field."

Match: West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur
6. Inkapier! Ecuador conceded only 5 goals in 18 games in this qualifier, while central defender Pacho completed the most 13 clean sheets when he was on the court. In addition, in the game, Kapier and Kessedo also had 11 clean sheets when he was on the court! The player said: "I am best at central defenders. Of course, I have played many sidebacks, but I think central defenders are the best for me. As for the advantages, I am very fast and like to drive the ball and can also take on the leading role on the court."
InCapier joined Arsenal from Leverkusen this summer, with a transaction method of loan + conditional forced buyout, with a total price of 52 million euros. Arsenal's official copywriting is also very important: the last piece of the puzzle, Inkapier is the Gunner! In Capier played 45 games for Leverkusen last season, contributing 3 goals and 2 assists, and currently the German turnover price is 50 million euros. Inkapier's transfer cleared the obstacles for Kiviol's official transfer to Porto. Arsenal signed Kiviol from Spezia for £20 million in January 2023. The Polish defender's transfer to Porto costs about 27 million euros.
Possible debut time: September 13th 19:30
Match: Arsenal vs. Nottingham Forest
7. Donaruma! Donnarumma joined Paris in 2021, playing 161 appearances in four years and completing 56 clean sheets. He won 1 Champions League, 4 French Ligue 1, 2 French Cups and 3 French Super Cup championships. Manchester City signed 26-year-old Italian goalkeeper Donaluma from Paris Saint-Germain. Both sides have signed a contract for 5 years, with a total transaction price of 35 million euros. On September 14, Manchester City will face Manchester United at home! Donaluma said: "For a player, I think that achieving success in the Premier League is the pinnacle of his career, so I am really happy to be here, I am eager to play for this club that is so eager to sign me to play, and I hope to repay this trust."
Contract details show that the basic annual salary of the five-year contract signed by Donnarumma and Manchester City is 15 million euros after tax. According to the Italian media "Republic", Donnarumma, who transferred from Paris to Manchester City this summer, will become the world's highest-paid goalkeeper, with a salary of 78 million euros after tax for the five-year contract! In Manchester City, Haaland was out of the top spot with 525,000 pounds, with 300,000 B seats, 295,000 Malmush, and 250,000 Donnarumma and Stones. Donnarumma is 26 years old. In 2015, he became the youngest starting goalkeeper in Serie A at the age of 16 and 242 days. He played 251 games for Milan, completed 88 clean sheets, and won an Italian Super Cup.
In this crazy transfer window, the Premier League completed more than 3.5 billion euros in recruitment expenditure, and its consumption capacity far exceeds the total of the four major leagues! Of course, there are too many final transfers from the Premier League. It is possible that the first player is far more than the above seven. You should know that the Premier League team occupies 9 seats in the top 10. Liverpool ranked first with 483.7 million euros in consumption, Chelsea followed closely behind with 328 million euros, Arsenal ranked third with 293 million euros, Manchester United's investment reached 250 million euros, Tottenham Hotspur's expenditure was 210 million euros, Manchester City's expenditure was 176 million euros, Nottingham Forest, Sunderland and Newcastle all invested around 200 million euros!

Three highlights are coming

Previously, Manchester United had signed 23-year-old goalkeeper Lamons. The two new players are expected to face off directly in the next round of Manchester City derby. Former main goalkeepers of both teams, Ederson and Onana, have both left the team and rushed to the Turkish Super League! How Amorin and Guardiola are deploying troops at that time is worth looking forward to!
Highlight 2. Two major logos have a dialogue across the air! Walter Mad is the new benchmark in Newcastle United's history, and Isaac is the three benchmark in Liverpool + Premier League + 2025-26 season summer window. Due to Isaac's farce, Walter Mad is joined. The two major marks are talking across the air. Whether the opportunity can be obtained in the new round of Premier League will be worth looking forward to!
Highlight 3: The hot Manchester City Derby! In addition to the possible new goalkeeper showdown, the Manchester City Derby itself is more eye-catching! Manchester United is also good for this game. Manchester City is currently full of wounded soldiers. Kovasic, Gvadiol, Bettinelli and Calvin Phillips are all confirmed to miss the game against Manchester United. Meanwhile, the injuries of Savigno, Husanov, Rico Lewis, Nuri, O'Reilly, Stones and Foden still need to be clarified!
