Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Following the chaos and hysteria of transfer deadline day, an international break was perhaps timely in order to calm everyone down - particularly Jim White.

But with the Premier League set to get back underway this weekend, we can begin to find out if all that frantic last-minute spending was worth it.

Among those due to make their debut this weekend are £42.5m Arsenal signing Mesut Ozil, Aston Villa's big man from Lazio Libor Kozak, Chelsea duo Willian and Samuel Eto'o and many more.

Here, we guide you through the new faces to keep an eye on this weekend...
