What is a new signing?
In football, a 'new signing' refers to a player who has recently joined a club, usually transferred from another team. Karim Adeyemi is a new signing for Barcelona, meaning he's just started his contract with them. These players are often brought in to strengthen the squad, and their first goal, even in a friendly, is a big moment for them and the fans.
