Premier League debut XI totals £340MILLION as Alexander Isak stars with Man Utd flops

Alexander Isak, Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho are among the summer transfers who could debut for their new clubs this weekend. The summer transfer window slammed shut on September 1 before a two-week international break put a pause on the Premier League.

And as a result, fans across the country have been waiting patiently to see how their clubs' new deadline day signings will hit the ground running at club level. More than £375million exchanged hands on deadline day alone, tipping the total expenditure on new signings over the £3billion mark in England.

With a whole host of fresh talent to keep tabs on, Mirror Football has broken down a full starting XI of players who could make their Premier League debuts for their new respective clubs, from a British record sensation to a number of Manchester United flops who have been moved on.

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Manchester City

While James Trafford was the talk of the town when Manchester City secured him in a £27m deal with Burnley earlier this summer, Pep Guardiola's Cityzens couldn't help but pass up also signing one of the world's greatest goalkeepers in Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The 26-year-old had impressed with Paris Saint-Germain for four years, clinching a Ligue 1 title during each season of his tenure and helping Les Parisiens claim their first-ever Champions League title this year, when the acquisition of Lucas Chevalier probed him to explore his options elsewhere.

While a wealth of top-tier clubs were linked with the Italian, it was the Sky Blues who successfully snapped up Donnarumma on a five-year deal for a reported £30m. As a result, City could opt to deploy Donnarumma over Trafford when the Manchester Derby arrives at the Etihad on Sunday, considering his wealth of experience at the highest level.

Piero Hincapie - Arsenal

Bayer Leverkusen were ram-raided by Premier League sides this season, losing Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz to Liverpool, Granit Xhaka to Sunderland, and Amine Adli to Bournemouth. They also lost 23-year-old Piero Hincapie on a season-long loan to Arsenal, who will be sure to challenge the likes of Gabriel Magalhaes and Riccardo Calafiori for his place in Mikel Arteta's starting XI.

Arsenal face Nottingham Forest at 12.30pm on Saturday, where Gunners fans could see their first glimpse of the talented Ecuadorian, especially considering William Saliba will miss the clash due to an ankle injury sustained against Liverpool.

Igor Julio - West Ham United

Igor Julio completed a loan move from Brighton to West Ham on deadline day, in what could turn out to be one of Graham Potter's most fruitful signings of the summer. The Hammers have struggled this season thus far, bested 3-0 by Sunderland on opening day, before suffering a 5-1 humiliation on home soil at the hands of Chelsea the following week.

While a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest ahead of the international break will have boosted morale, Potter was wise to bolster his back line while he still had the option to do so. And with a tough test against a flying Tottenham Hotspur facing the Hammers when they return to action on Saturday evening, fans could see Igor deployed for added safety in their own half.

Veljko Milosavljević - Bournemouth

While Bournemouth have enjoyed a cracking start to a fresh Premier League season, with two wins from their opening three matches, Andoni Iraola clearly demanded more depth in defence as the window drew to a close. And it appears that the club secured just that in 18-year-old Veljko Milosavljević, who joined the Cherries on deadline day from Red Star Belgrade in a £13m move.

Despite the Serbian centre-half still developing as a player, it is thought that he could be deployed during Bournemouth's clash with Brighton due to Adam Smith recovering from a thigh injury, and Julian Araujo only just returning after a suspension.

Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho - Aston Villa

Given how extensively Liverpool have spent this summer, coupled with the fact that Harvey Elliott is reaching his prime playing years, it comes as little surprise that the club made the choice to loan him to Aston Villa on deadline day with a £35m obligation to buy based on appearances.

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder has impressed for the Reds over the past six years, but looked to be phased out of Slot's plans with the acquisition of Wirtz. As a result, he will hope for more opportunity in the midlands under Unai Emery, and could feature for the club as soon as Saturday, when they travel to Merseyside to face Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Potentially joining Elliott on the pitch is Manchester United wantaway, Jadon Sancho. The England international has had a tough tenure with the Red Devils as he enters his final year of contract, with Villa taking the the 25-year-old winger on loan for the season.

He will also hope to hit the ground running with the Villains when they face the Toffees this weekend, looking to kickstart a career resurgence in the Premier League after spending last season on loan with Chelsea.

Randal Kolo Muani - Tottenham Hotspur

Thomas Frank has confirmed that Randal Kolo Muani may feature in the Spurs squad to face West Ham at the London Stadium on Saturday, after the Frenchman arrived in north London in a deadline day loan move from PSG. Speaking during a press conference looking to the weekend, Frank said: "Both are looking good. Both are in contention to be ready for the squad tomorrow," also nodding to Xavi Simons.

The 26-year-old has impressed with PSG since joining the side in 2023, but has failed to burst into Luis Enrique's starting XI ahead of Goncalo Ramos. However, he will hope to present a stellar impression of himself to Spurs fans if he receives gametime against West Ham.

Alejandro Garnacho - Chelsea

After a summer of unrest at Old Trafford, Alejandro Garnacho finally secured a £40m move to Chelsea. And although a deal between the two clubs was struck ahead of deadline day, he was only announced as a Blues player following Chelsea's last Premier League clash with Fulham. He could now debut this weekend against Brentford.

While the 21-year-old will look to make his mark early on, he may rely on minutes from the bench before he gets a starting chance - given the abundance of competition on the wing he will face from the likes of Pedro Neto, Estevao and Jamie Gittens.

Brian Brobbey - Sunderland

Regis Le Bris received an abundance of backing from Kyril Louis-Dreyfus this summer, with the French owner understanding all too well the squad revamp needed to succeed in the Premier League. The Black Cats spent more than £150m in the transfer window, welcoming the likes of Xhaka, Habib Diarra, Chemsdine Talbi, Robin Roefs and Omar Alderete to the Stadium of Light.

But they also recruited Brian Brobbey in a £21.6m deadline day deal with Ajax, after realising a need for a proven goalscorer up top. While Eliezer Mayenda and Wilson Isidor have already proved their worth for Sunderland, each scoring against West Ham in their opening game of the season, there's still a lack of top flight experience between them.

And with Mayenda struggling to make a mark against Burnley and Brentford since, Le Bris could opt to deploy Isidor as a starter against Crystal Palace on Saturday, and give Brobbey minutes as a second-half substitute.

Alexander Isak - Liverpool

After a summer of unrest at St James' Park, Isak finally secured a £125m move to Liverpool on deadline day. However, as the Swede hasn't played in the Premier League this season as a result of his actions at Newcastle United, Slot may not opt to deploy him from the outset against Burnley come Sunday.

Hugo Ekitike has done a stellar job leading the line for the Reds this season thus far, while Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah have impressed from out wide. As a result, Isak may receive minutes from Slot from the bench this weekend, despite his monumental British record-fee price tag.

Nick Woltemade - Newcastle United

Again, while he's not a deadline day signing, Nick Woltemade is yet to feature for Newcastle United since his arrival on Tyneside. Signed from VfB Stuttgart in a reported deal worth £73.5m on August 30, the 23-year-old striker was brought in as a replacement for an outgoing Isak.

And as Yoane Wissa, who was also snapped up by the Magpies from Brentford on deadline day for £55m, also hasn't featured in the Premier League this season thus far due to his own pushes for a move this summer, Woltemade could well be deployed by United when they face Wolves on home turf on Saturday.
