The English
Premier League is Back on Saturday. The moment every football fan across the
globe has been waiting for- the return of arguably the best and most entertaining
league on the planet, the return of a football brand that has not only
attracted the best players in the world but billions of fans across the globe.
We take a look at the Cameroonians who will
be on show this weekend and those who are likely to join before the transfer
window comes to an end.
Allan Nyom
The 27-year
old full back is looking out to make his Premier League debut after joining
newly promoted Watford from Granada this summer on a four-year contract.

| Eyeing a new experience |
Nyom and
Watford face a tough test on their return to the Premier League with a trip to
face Everton at Goodison Park.
The defender
has not featured for Cameroon since the 2010 World Cup and would be hoping to
revive his international career with this move to Watford.
Sebastian Bassong
Another
defender who has been out of the national team picture for long, is making his
return to the Premier League alongside his club Norwich City after spending
last season in The Championship following their relegation in 2014.

| The return of Seb |
The 29-year
old is in his fourth season at the club was made club captain in 2014 by the manager Chris Hughton but fell down the pecking order after relegation and had a spell on loan at Watford. He has also played for Newcastle United andTottenham Hotspurs.
The Song Saga drags on
Will he?
Will he not? Alex Song’s long standing proposed move to West Ham from Barcelona
has been the main issue at the East London side.
After
spending last season on loan with the Hammers, the club are looking down to tie
the midfielder on a permanent deal but are reluctant to meet Barcelona’s £5
million asking price.

| Hammers hoping to sing the right Song |
Alex Song was
equally a reported target for Chelsea and Manchester City though both clubs
pulled out of the race after the former Arsenal man picked up an injury that
will keep him out for at least two months.
West Ham
begin the season on Sunday with a London derby against Arsenal while hoping to
get their man before the close of the transfer window.
Will Clinton Njie finally be a Spur?
Olympique
Lyonnais have rejected a second bid in the region of £9 million from Tottenham Hotspurs for Clinton Njie, with the French side
holding out for £15 million reports TalkSport.
Spurs have
been linked with a move for the 21-year old all through the summer though Lyon’s
President Jean Michel Aulas last week dismissed reports in L’Equipe that they are ready to let the player leave for a huge
fee.

However,
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is a keen admirer of the winger and is
determined to land him before the close of the transfer window.
Will Njie
finally move to England?
