Démarrage de la Premier League : cinq Lions en lice, entre ambitions et incertitudes
The English Premier League resumes this weekend with several Senegalese internationals in the title race. Five Lions are expected to play in the English top flight this season, each with their own unique circumstances.
At Everton, Iliman Ndiaye is expected to be one of the Toffees' main attacking assets once again. After a convincing first season, the Senegalese striker has chosen to continue his adventure with Liverpool's second club, despite interest from several European teams and clubs in Saudi Arabia. His objective will be to build on the promise he showed last season and take his game to the next level.
At Crystal Palace, Ismaïla Sarr is also among the players the club is counting on. Having performed exceptionally well in the 2025-2026 season, the former FC Metz striker, who is among the candidates for the African Player of the Year award, will approach this new season with high ambitions. While he is being courted by clubs such as Galatasaray, Ismaïla Sarr will need to maintain his form to continue establishing himself as a key player for the Eagles and strengthen his chances in the race for the prestigious African individual trophy.
While the situations of Iliman Ndiaye and Ismaïla Sarr seem relatively clear, Nicolas Jackson's future remains much more uncertain. Back from a loan spell at Bayern Munich, the Senegalese striker is reportedly on the radar of several European clubs, including Napoli and Atlético Madrid. His future could therefore be decided in the final days of the transfer window.
The same uncertainty surrounds Mamadou Sarr. Since arriving at Chelsea, the young Senegalese defender has only played seven matches. In a particularly deep squad, his playing time could be limited again this season, fueling speculation about a possible departure before the transfer window closes.
With five Lions announced in the Premier League, the season promises to be full of challenges for Senegalese players. Between confirming their potential, personal ambition, and uncertainty about the future, several of them will need to quickly clarify their situation and seize the opportunities that arise.
