Nicolas Jackson says he's joined one of the "best clubs in the world" after his loan move to Bayern Munich from Chelsea.

While some of the biggest new arrivals in the Premier League are so far struggling to make their mark in the top flight -- *cough* Benjamin Sesko -- some of the less heralded signings are quickly proving their worth.

Iliman Ndiaye was again the history-maker for Everton as he scored the first goal at the Toffees' new Hill Dickinson Stadium, and his cohesion with Jack Grealish looking promising for Merseyside fans.

Senegal handed England their first defeat by African opponents in 22 games on Tuesday, beating them 3-1 in a friendly at the City Ground thanks to goals from Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra and Cheikh Sabaly.

Africa's national sides are in action all around the globe during the final international break of the season.
