BrightonScores in first league start
Yalcouye scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-3 loss versus Chelsea.
Analysis: Yalcouye was handed his first Premier League start of the season following Yasin Ayari's absence and took advantage by scoring Brighton's first goal with a well-struck effort off the post. He put both of his shots on target while also creating one chance and registering three tackles (one won) across 74 minutes. The combination of attacking output and midfield activity could strengthen Yalcouye's case for further starts if Ayari remains unavailable.
Back in Brighton
Yalcouye will return to parent club Brighton following the conclusion of his loan spell at Swansea City.
Analysis: Yalcouye contributed one goal and two assists across 1,022 Championship minutes for the Swans, continuing his development at senior level after winning the Austrian Bundesliga title and the Young Player of the Year award with Sturm Graz the previous season. Yalcouye, who joined Brighton in 2024 from IFK Goteborg after emerging at ASEC Mimosas, now heads back to the Amex where his future will be assessed ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
