The Premier League of 2025/26 is Sunderland that has just recruited the young Morocco talent, Chemsdine Talbi from Club Brugge (Belgium).
Chemsdine Talbi is only 20 years old but is very impressive. Although only launching the first team Brugge in October last year, Talbi had 22 main appearances in all competitions, of which 7 matches in the Champions League.
In this most prestigious arena in Europe, Talbi left a bold impression with two goals, the most memorable is the goal in the victory right at Atalanta in the knockout round.
Not only that, the strength that makes Talbi noticed is the speed of “tearing the wind”. He has reached a maximum speed of 35.9 km/h in the Champions League in 2024/25 and reached the top 6 fastest players in Europe, only behind the famous names like Hakimi, Haaland or Mbappe. This is considered an important factor for Sunderland to recruit him to strengthen the attack in the upcoming season.
Former goalkeeper Sunderland, Simon Mignolet, is also Talbi's former teammate at Club Brugge, once praised this player: “His speed is really extraordinary. It is Talbi's biggest asset. I believe Sunderland will exploit this strong point and he will succeed in the Premier League.”
Besides, according to Sky Sports, Sunderland is about to complete the next deal called Simon Adingra from Brighton for a fee of about 20.6 million pounds. The Ivory Coast player will be the 6th contract of the Premier League rookie team this summer.
