8 free agent wild cards Premier League clubs can sign including former Chelsea stars

EPL Chelsea Fabian Delph Adel Taarabt Diego Costa Jetro Willems Juan Mata Ross Barkley Marcelo UEFA Champions League

After a summer of big spending, the majority of Premier League deals have been confirmed, but there could still be more to come.

Clubs in the English top flight spent close to £2bn over the summer, with Manchester United and Chelsea posting the biggest outlay. Late moves for the likes of Antony, Wesley Fofana and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were the icing on the cake after both clubs splashed the cash, and they weren't the only big-money deadline deals.

All 20 teams in the league will name their 25-man Premier League squads on September 2, but some may leave spots free in case they decide to dip into the free agent pool. Unattached players can be signed outside the window - we saw this last season with Brentford signing Mathias Jorgensen and Watford adding Nicolas Nkoulou; so there's less urgency.
