Another crazy transfer has closed, with the Premier League once again dominating the transfer market in a record summer spending. However, there are many stars still in unemployment.
Michail Antonio
After a period of consideration, West Ham made a difficult and cruel decision to not renew the contract with Michail Antonio in the summer, in the context that he was still in the process of recovery after a serious car accident in December 2024. The 35 -year -old striker returned to play earlier than expected, playing Jamaica in June and scored a double for U21 The Hammers in July, but now he is unemployed. However, Antonio confirmed that he had no retired plan, revealed in August that he negotiated with clubs in the UK and abroad to aim for a capacity in the Jamaica squad to attend the 2026 World Cup.
Josh brownhill
Josh Brownhill had an excellent last season with Burnley, where he contributed 24 goals in Championship (18 goals, 6 assists) on the promotion path. However, at the age of 29 he was kicked on the road by the Turf Moor team. Although receiving £ 100,000/week from the Al-Shabab team in Saudi Pro League, it seems Brownhill who wants to stay in the foggy land with Wolves is the team that wants his service.
Christian Eriksen
Among the many players who left MU when the contract ended in the summer, Eriksen is expected to be the Premier League team in addition to the top 6 thanks to his level and experience in the land of fog, despite serious injuries that reduced the impact of Danish players. However, when September came, this attacking midfielder has not found the right club, causing the 33 -year -old to be eliminated from the concentration of the national team, despite his symbol of national football. He was rumored to return to Brentford, Burnley. There is a rather surprising thing that Wrexham has not been a move so far with him so far.
Rick Karsdorp
Perhaps most known for the serious discord with the coach of AS Roma, Jose Mourinho, the Dutch right -back, Rick Karsdorp became a free player after his 1 -season contract with PSV in his home country at the end of June. As a reliable defender with the ability to support attacks, Karsdorp can be the best choice for the player to increase the defense of the defense team. Especially when he was only 30 years old.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
After two years in Türkiye in Besiktas, where another serious injury once again made him stop after some initial promises, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was looking for a new club after his contract was terminated.
Unexpectedly, the 32 -year -old is said to be receiving attention from the Premier League teams, while Birmingham – the team playing in Championship and backed by Tom Brady, is also pursuing Oxlade -Chamberlain and he is also rumored to return to the childhood club, Southampton. It seems that the former multi -purpose Arsenal and Liverpool players can soon return to the English football arena.
Miralem Pjanic
Once considered one of the best midfielders in the world, the “dead ball expert” Miralem Pjanic was unemployed after a few years of wandering to Besiktas in Türkiye, Sharjah in the UAE and most recently CSKA Moscow in Russia. Now 35 years old, the Bosnian player is standing in front of the crossroads, but former Lyon, Juventus and Barca players have excluded the ability to retire. St. MLS's Louis City is said to have negotiated with Pjanic, while there is information that he may return to Italy to join a final tournament.
Sergio Reguilon
From Real Madrid, to Tottenham, to Man United, and then the free player – all of the 28 years. Sergio Reguilon currently has no club after finally saying goodbye to Tottenham at the end of the contract after three borrowed at Atletico Madrid, MU and Brentford. In the 2024/25 season, Reguilon only played 316 minutes because it was not in the plan of former Ange Postecoglou coach. It will take more time for him to regain physical strength, but the Spanish player may be a free contract worth considering, although there is not much information about him.
Takehiro Tomiyasu
Take time with Takehiro Tomiyasu's injury at Arsenal ended suddenly in the summer when the Japanese defender and the North London team agreed to shorten his contract a year soon. He pointed out to the yard … 6 minutes during the 2024/25 season due to repeatedly suffered a knee injury. The Japanese defender still had to sit out for the next 3 months to recover after a traumatic surgery in February, so it was very difficult for any club to bet on signing a contract with the 26 -year -old player before the January transfer period.
Hakim Ziyech
The Morocco striker and former Chelsea player Hakim Ziyech still had no club after his contract with Al-Duhail ended under a general agreement in May after only 4 months of sticking to the Qatar team, after the time he played for Galatasaray. At the age of 32, the injury has hindered him in recent seasons, and can imagine his peak days of competition is about to end. This winger was contacted with Elche in La Liga, as well as returning to the Dutch homeland, but everything has not come true when the transfer market has closed.
Kurt zouma
After being borrowed by Saudi Arabia's Al-Norobah Club in the final year of the contract with West Ham after the long-term transfer did not come true in 2024, the French center-back, Kurt Zouma is currently a free player. The value of the 30 -year -old has dropped significantly since the scandal – Zouma kicked his cat – but he was still contacted with Everton, Wolves and Valencia. However, it is reported that Zouma wants to have another lucrative contract in Saudi Arabia, although the time to play for Al-Norobah is not very impressive.
