The players your club could still sign beyond the transfer window

 A record-breaking £3.1bn transfer window may have drawn to a close, yet some talent is still available without having to spend a penny.

Premier League clubs have certainly invested big this summer, but here are some of the best players that your club can sign for free.

Takehiro Tomiyasu

The Japanese full-back made his name as one of the most reliable defenders in the Premier League, but two injury-hit seasons meant Arsenal were unable to rely on him. Tomiyasu had his contract with the north London club mutually terminated earlier this summer, but at 26, he still has a lot to offer.

He is still nursing a knee injury, so supporters may have to be patient, but there are plenty of clubs who could use his tenacity and defensive intelligence.

Josh Brownhill

The Englishman enjoyed a stellar season last campaign, helping Burnley secure promotion to the Premier League with 18 goals and six assists from midfield.

The 29-year-old is not short of suitors, and a move to Saudi Arabia could be on the cards amid reports of a deal being agreed.

Hakim Ziyech

It does not seem long ago that Ziyech was one of Europe’s most exciting attacking midfielders, lighting up the Champions League with Ajax with that famous cross-field pass still appearing on social media feeds.

After leaving Chelsea, the Morocco international has since had short stints with Galatasaray and Qatari club Al-Duhail. Now at the age of 32, Ziyech could be an asset for a team that needs more creativity.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Oxlade-Chamberlain remains one of the Premier League’s biggest “what ifs”, a player whose unique physical and technical abilities were disrupted by constant injuries. Once a wonderkid at Southampton, the Englishman enjoyed successful periods at Arsenal and Liverpool, albeit with long spells on the sidelines.

Most recently at Besiktas, he had his contract terminated by the Turkish club earlier this summer. Amid interest from Birmingham earlier in the window, Oxlade-Chamberlain may want to return to England to be closer to his young family.

Christian Eriksen

After three seasons at Manchester United, the Danish midfielder found himself among the players released by the club at the end of the last season.

The midfield maestro was notably omitted from Denmark’s squad for their forthcoming qualifiers against Scotland and Greece, and with the World Cup looming, the Dane will surely be eager to find a new club and force his way back into the national team.
