Players available for free, Premier League clubs should sign
With less than a month left in the transfer window for most nations, the free agent market is getting thinner and thinner. However, there are still a lot of high profile and exciting footballers waiting to be picked up without transfer fees.
Nottingham Forest – David de Gea
Forest are being linked with a number of goalkeepers including Djordje Petrovic, Matt Turner, José Sá and Matheus. The club had the services of a legendary keeper in Keylor Navas last season who ensured their survival. They need someone to replace his massive boots this season, if they are to repeat the feat.
There is none other who comes close to fulfilling that requirement than David de Gea. The Spaniard’s wages are cheap and it would need a lot of convincing to get the deal over. However, if the Tricky Trees want to prove their ambition it would be a dream signing.
Sheffield United – Alfredo Morelos
Daniel Jebbison might leave the Blades this summer with several clubs interested in the young striker. He has less than a year left on his contract and with the financial uncertainty the club might cash in. If they get a fee for him, they might want to reinvest it wisely. Alfredo Morelos who made a name for himself in Glasgow with Rangers can be a great option.
Morelos has an impressive goal-scoring record throughout his career, particularly during his time at Rangers in the Scottish Premiership. With a total of 124 goals in 269 appearances for Rangers, he has consistently demonstrated his ability to find the back of the net. His goal-scoring prowess would be valuable for Sheffield United as they aim to establish themselves in the Premier League.
Morelos is a versatile forward capable of playing as a central striker or on the flanks. His ability to adapt to different attacking roles provides tactical flexibility for Sheffield United’s manager, allowing the team to experiment with different formations and systems.
Morelos has experienced playing in the Scottish Premiership in the UK, where he faced challenging opposition. This experience can help him quickly adapt to the intensity and physicality of the Premier League, making him a valuable asset to the newly promoted side.
At 27 years old, Morelos is in his prime years as a footballer, and his best performances may still be ahead of him. Signing him on a free transfer allows Sheffield United to acquire a player with considerable potential and the possibility of significant sell-on value in the future.
Morelos has expressed his desire to play in a top league, and joining a newly promoted team like Sheffield United could provide him with the platform to showcase his talents on a bigger stage. Players with such ambitions and hunger to prove themselves can be a driving force for a team seeking to establish themselves in the Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur – Eden Hazard
Spurs were linked with forwards such as Arthur Cabral, Dusan Vlahovic, Jonathan David and Manor Solomon. However, the club needs a Premier League proven forward. Eden Hazard could be the answer to that. Despite very poor seasons in Spain, the quality Hazard displayed in Chelsea is too good to not consider trying your chance at.
West Ham United – Lucas Moura
The Hammers are looking to bring a winger and are being linked to Darío Osorio and Carlos Borges. Lucas Moura meanwhile is being linked to clubs in the MLS. The Brazilian, however, still has a lot to offer in europe. The London club should be a perfect fit for him. The Iron Ones should not overlook the experience the PSG star brings.
Lucas Moura has consistently shown his goal-scoring prowess throughout his career, both at São Paulo, Paris Saint-Germain, and Tottenham Hotspur. His tally of 118 career goals demonstrates his ability to find the back of the net regularly. Adding a prolific goal scorer like Moura would significantly bolster West Ham’s attacking options.
Moura is a versatile player capable of operating across the forward line. He can play as a winger, forward, or even as an attacking midfielder. This versatility can provide tactical flexibility for West Ham, allowing them to adapt their playing style based on the opposition.
Moura has substantial experience playing in top-tier leagues like Ligue 1 and the Premier League. His exposure to these highly competitive leagues ensures that he would be accustomed to the demands of playing at the highest level, making him a valuable addition to West Ham’s squad.
Moura has experience playing in significant matches, including domestic cup finals and UEFA Champions League knockout stages. This experience can be invaluable for West Ham in the Europa League or crucial league encounters where composure and mental strength are vital.
At 30 years old, Lucas Moura is still in his prime years as a footballer. He has the potential to contribute significantly to West Ham’s success for a few more years.
Moura is known for his work ethic and dedication on the pitch. He is not only a goal scorer but also a hardworking player who contributes defensively. His tireless efforts can be a great fit for West Ham’s high-intensity style of play.
Wolverhampton Wanderers – Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Wolves are being linked to midfielders such as Samuel Iling Junior, André and Guido Rodríguez. They should instead go for a Premier League proven, home grown and versatile midfielder in Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Oxlade-Chamberlain is a highly versatile player who can operate effectively in multiple positions. He has experience playing as a winger, attacking midfielder, and central midfielder. This flexibility would be valuable for Wolverhampton Wanderers as it allows the manager to deploy him in various roles based on the team’s tactical requirements.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has extensive experience in the Premier League, having played for both Arsenal and Liverpool. His familiarity with the league’s demands and style of play would be advantageous for Wolverhampton Wanderers, especially as they seek to strengthen their squad for top-flight competition.
Despite often being deployed in midfield roles, Oxlade-Chamberlain has showcased his goal-scoring prowess throughout his career. With a total of 48 career goals, he has demonstrated his ability to contribute offensively and add an extra dimension to Wolverhampton Wanderers’ attacking play.
Oxlade-Chamberlain possesses excellent technical skills, vision, and creativity. His ability to pick out incisive passes and create goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates can be a valuable asset to the team’s attacking endeavors.
Having played for top clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool, Oxlade-Chamberlain has experience in high-pressure and big-match situations. His experience in crucial games can help Wolverhampton Wanderers navigate challenging fixtures and make a significant impact in important moments.
Oxlade-Chamberlain’s versatility and ability to play in various positions would enhance Wolverhampton Wanderers’ squad depth. His presence would provide more options for the manager during congested fixture schedules and when dealing with injuries or suspensions.
Throughout his career, Oxlade-Chamberlain has exhibited leadership qualities both on and off the pitch. His experience and leadership could be valuable in guiding and motivating younger players within the squad.
