Dire Mebude made his debut for Westerlo as a sub in a 1-0 loss to Brugge a couple of days ago

Shea Charles - made his Southampton debut in their league cup loss to Gillingham

CJ Egan-Riley - was on loan at Hibs last season from Burnley, will presumably go on loan again this season

Joel Latibeaudiere - joined Coventry from Swansea on a free transfer and has started both of their games so far

Colin Rosler - playing regularly for Mjallby in the Swedish top division

Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has joined Hatayspor in Turkey on a free from Sheffield Wednesday

Tom Dele-Bashiru - scored in Watford’s first league game at the weekend, hopefully he can stay fit as he’s had a few serious injuries since he left us

Luke Bolton - plays regularly for Salford

Ed Francis joined Gateshead from Notts County in the summer

Demeaco Duhaney - joined Istanbulspor on a free from Stoke City

Kwaku Oduroh - joined Rochdale on loan from Derby

Matt Smith - joined St Johnstone from Mk Dons

Daniel Grimshaw - looks to be Blackpool’s first choice keeper this season

D’Margio Wright-Phillips - at Stoke but spent the second half of last season on loan at Northampton

Nathanael Ogbeta - at Swansea but currently injured. Spent second half of last season on loan at Peterborough

Cameron Humphreys - regular starter for Rotherham in the Championship

Brandon Barker - without a club after being released by APOEL Nicosia

Jack Byrne - playing for Shamrock Rovers even though he’s far too good to be playing at that level

Will Patching - playing for Derry City in the League of Ireland

I’m sure there are a shit load of others too, just shows how many players from our academy are playing at a good level around Europe
 
Kelechi Iheanacho's goal last night was a thing of beauty. Fine player, would have been nice to see him stay longer with us.

He’s way too good for the Championship.
Would be a reasonable, if probably underwhelming, replacement for Kane at Spurs.

There was talk of him going to Forest wasn't there? Don't think he's be in the Championship long but credit it to him if he sticks around to help Leicester back up.

Burnley have Arijanet Muric, CJ Egan Riley and James Trafford. Would not be surprised to see them come in for Harwood-Bellis again before window is over as well.
 
Former academy players in Europe's top 5 leagues + the Championship

Premier League (20): Murić, Trafford, Hennessey, Karius, Egan-Riley, Lewis*, Trippier, Mee, O Rekik, T Adarabioyo, Hodge, Griffiths, Hesketh, McAtee*, Foden*, Palmer*, Sancho, Olise, Brooks, Barrington
La Liga (8): Maffeo, Diounkou, E García, A García, Súarez, Brahim, J Pozo, Touazi
Serie A (4): Rabiot, I Ilić, Braaf, Correia
Bundesliga (4): Frimpong, F Nmecha, L Nmecha, Bynoe-Gittens
Ligue 1 (3): Schmeichel, Haug, Wilson-Esbrand*
Championship (33): Gunn, Bazunu, Slicker, Hilton, P Charles, T Smith, Humphreys, Latibeaudiere, C Doyle*, Cunningham, Larios, Leigh, L Smith, Lavia, S Charles, G Evans, T Dele-Bashiru, Gyabi, Gartside-Kelly, Helliwell, Richards, Rogers, Poveda, Edozie, Campbell, C Evans, Dolan, L Thomas, Wright-Phillips, Simms, Maja, Iheanacho, Delap*

Still at club* (7)

39 players across Europe's top 5 leagues and 33 more players in the Championship. Really shows the incredible work the academy does. Likely this list will be added to with Harwood-Bellis, Mbete, T Doyle and possibly Fiorini before the end of the window. Some players like Lavia and Iheanacho will likely move to the PL.
 
Strange to see Byrne plying his trade in the Irish leagues, thought he was very talented coming through.

What the hell happened to Barker?

Barker is a mystery,.thought he was going to be at least a championship player if not play for City.
