Whether it is a case of waiting for dominoes to fall or just not having found the right suitor, some players remain free agents a week into the new campaign. As clubs begin to realise how successful or unsuccessful their summer business has been, these are players who may prove to be attractive options this month.

The free agent market features an array of players, from established internationals to exciting young talents. Many were regular fixtures for their former clubs last season, therefore will be keen to get fixed up for the current campaign.
