Malick Yalcouye - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Substitute role against Arsenal Yalcouye played five minutes as a substitute during Brighton's 3-0 win over Arsenal before the international break.

Impact Yalcouye dropped to a backup spot despite scoring two goals over his last three league contests, as Yasin Ayari moved to the No. 10 position. Given how that adjustment paid off in a difficult matchup, Yalcouye may not have a clear path back into the initial lineup even though he has been a reliable attacking contributor during the early weeks of the season.

Scores in dominant victory Yalcouye scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 5-0 victory against Coventry City.

Impact Yalcouye doubled Brighton's advantage shortly after halftime, winning possession inside the Coventry half before racing through the defense and finishing with his left foot. The midfielder was consistently involved in dangerous areas before his substitution, with two of his three attempts testing the goalkeeper. Yalcouye has now recorded two goals through four Premier League appearances this season.

Scores 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.

Impact 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.

Loan concludes Yalcouye has returned to Brighton from his loan with Sturm Graz.

Impact Yalcouye is back with his parent club after a year out on loan, seeing decent time in Austria. He would earn 37 appearances with the club while capturing time in UCL play, adding four goals and two assists. The 19-year-old had a decent spell and could start to push for minutes soon, although it seems unlikely to come in the 2025/26 campaign.
