With the FIFA World Cup concluded, top players are set to make their mark in the Premier League.

The conclusion of the 2026 World Cup has marked a significant transition in the world of football, as the tournament's stars return to their respective clubs, particularly in the Premier League. While the global stage has seen unforgettable performances, the focus now shifts to how these players will carry their momentum into one of the most competitive leagues in the world. With the new season on the horizon, several World Cup participants are poised to become key figures in England's top flight.

Another player to watch is Bukayo Saka, who solidified his reputation as one of England's most potent attacking threats. The Arsenal winger contributed three goals and three assists, including a hat-trick in the third-place play-off against France. As Arsenal prepares to defend their Premier League title, Saka's ability to deliver in crucial moments will be vital for the Gunners' ambitions this season.

Ismaila Sarr, representing Senegal, may not have entered the tournament with widespread recognition, but he certainly left his mark by becoming his country's all-time leading World Cup goalscorer with four goals. His performance could provide a significant boost for Crystal Palace as they aim for a strong season ahead.

Tottenham's Pedro Porro and Mikel Merino from Arsenal also shone during the World Cup, with Porro contributing two goals and earning a spot in the fan-voted Team of the Tournament. Merino's solid midfield presence helped Spain secure the championship, and his return to Arsenal adds depth and confidence to their squad.

Cody Gakpo of Liverpool was another notable performer, scoring three goals for the Netherlands. His experience in the Premier League, combined with a strong World Cup showing, positions him as a crucial asset for Liverpool as they seek to reclaim their place at the top of the league.

The Premier League's representation at the World Cup was significant, with 182 players participating, contributing to a remarkable tally of 138 goals and assists. As the new season approaches, fans eagerly anticipate whether these World Cup heroes can maintain their form in the demanding landscape of domestic football, with the season set to kick off on August 22.
