Ligue 1's New Faces: Five Players to Watch This Season
Summer has brought a wave of fresh talent to France's top football league, with some big names making their mark on the pitch. While the transfer window is still open, these five players have already caught our eye and are sure to make waves in Ligue 1 this season.
Pogba Returns: Monaco's Bold Bet
Paul Pogba, affectionately known as "La Pioche," has finally found a new home after a year out of the game. He joins Monaco with his eyes set on reigniting his career and earning a spot on the French national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The question is: can he recapture his former brilliance?
Weah Jr. Aims to Blaze His Own Trail
Timothy Weah, son of football legend George Weah, arrives at OM with pedigree and an explosive style all his own. Whether playing on the wing or up front, Weah brings speed, tenacity, and a desire to make his mark on Ligue 1 before the 2026 World Cup. With his name, energy, and determination, he's sure to be a player to watch closely this season.
Otávio: The Brazilian Anchor for Paris FC's Resurgence
At just 23 years old, Otávio brings a solid presence to Paris FC's defense. The Brazilian central defender, trained at Flamengo and breakout star at Porto, stands tall at 1.87m with tactical intelligence, great positioning, and a commanding physical presence. As Paris FC returns to Ligue 1 after 46 years, Otávio could become the bedrock of their defensive success.
Panichelli: Strasbourg's New Goal-Scoring Threat
Joaquín Panichelli arrives at Strasbourg from Spain's second division with an impressive record: 21 goals and 8 assists in 44 matches last season. At 1.90m tall, the Argentine striker is a powerful force with an eye for goal. He brings a unique profile to Ligue 1 and could quickly become a fan favorite at the Meinau.

While familiar with French pitches, Lucas Chevalier now faces his biggest challenge yet: filling Gianluigi Donnarumma's gloves at PSG. Joining the club that dominated Europe this season, Chevalier has a chance to prove himself as a future star goalkeeper. Can he rise to the occasion and make a name for himself?
