PREMIER LEAGUE clubs alone spent over £3BILLION on transfers this summer in an unprecedented window.
But with the market slamming shut on Monday, there is still a whole host of players up for grabs, patiently waiting to be snapped up as free agents.

In fact, there is so much talent still available that you could build a well-balanced starting XI of free agents that includes a Champions League winner and a trio of former England stars with a combined 73 caps.
Lukasz Fabianski would start between the sticks for the team, having been released by West Ham after seven years in East London.
The 40-year-old has been a top stopper in the Prem during his career and still has a few years left to give the game.
Arsenal’s Takehiro Tomiyasu, 26, slots in at right back after mutually agreeing to cancel his contract with the Gunners this summer, despite having a year left on his deal.
Tomiyasu, who is still recovering from a knee injury, would be complimented by fellow full-back Sergio Reguilon on the left side.
Reguilon, 28, finally left Tottenham permanently this summer after loan moves to Atletico Madrid, Manchester United and Brentford.
Experienced Prem centre-backs Craig Dawson and Kurt Zouma would make up the rest of the back line.
A midfield trio of Christian Eriksen, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Dele Alli would be the envy of most teams and leaves you scratching your head as to why they have not been picked up yet.

Eriksen has turned down a move to Wrexham this summer in favour of continuing his career in the top flight in Europe.
While both Oxlade-Chamberlain and Alli have seen their contracts, with Besiktas and Como respectively, terminated and are still looking for the next step in their careers.
Oxlade-Chamberlain, 32, has represented England 35 times and played for both Arsenal and Liverpool, but it looks likely he will have to drop down to the Championship for his next club with Birmingham interested.
While former Spurs star and 37-time England cap Alli, 29, has played just one nightmare game of professional football since February 2023 and will need to get back to regular action with whichever club he signs for.
The seemingly age-defying talent of Willian could play left wing for the free agent XI having left Fulham for a second time at the end of the season.
Willian, 37, seems likely to head back to his birth country of Brazil to see out the twilight of his career.
Champions League winner Hakim Ziyech could occupy the right wing for the job-searching team.

Ziyech, who won the competition with Chelsea in 2021, is a free agent after running down his contract with top flight Qatar side Al-Duhail SC.
Leading the line for the team is Patrick Bamford, who agreed to have his Leeds United contract terminated this summer after a lack of minutes under manager Daniel Farke.
The 31-year-old, who earned one cap for England, was part of two promotion sides for Leeds and once notched 17 Premier League goals in a season – finishing fifth in the Golden Boot race.
Away from those 11 players there is still a whole host of other stars waiting to find a new club.
They include the likes of 18-goal Championship midfielder Josh Brownhill, ex-Newcastle ace Jamal Lewis and even former PSG and Barcelona star Rafinha.
