The Prem return is nearly upon us and these players are without a club!

The Premier League is nearly back and there's still 10 top free agents that can be signed for absolutely nothing.

JOE takes a look at the best players there are available and who may still have a club shortly!

Adama Traore - West Ham United

Fresh from a short stint in East London, Adama reunited with Nuno Espirito Santo at West Ham. Unfortunately, he was unable to replicate the stellar form shown at Molineux, and he left on a free. Deportivo are the latest club linked.

Memphis Depay - Corinthians

The Netherlands' all-time top scorer believes he was promised an extension, though it was not given. “In the upcoming days I will speak publicly but rest assured that I will not leave this unacceptable behaviour unsanctioned,” he said on X.

Marcelo Brozovic - Al-Nassr

The Croatian has left playing with the mighty Cristiano Ronaldo and could move to his former club, Real Madrid.

 Oleksandr Zinchenko - Ajax

Reliable and Premier League proven, Zinchenko has sadly torn his knee ligaments. He'll most likely be without a club for the foreseeable.

 Franck Kessie - Al-Ahli

One of the first players to move to the Saudi Pro League, his future is now up in the air after Juventus failed to offer him suitable terms.

Fabinho - Al-Ittihad

Leaving the Pro League after a three year spell, surely the former Premier League can do a job elsewhere in the top flight. He's still only 32.

Leon Goretzka - Bayern Munich

Relaxed over his next move, the German international says he wants to play competitive football, abroad. He's seen it all and won the lot domestically at Bayern. Time for a change. Barca are linked.

Yves Bissouma - Spurs

This went unnoticed. A big signing from Brighton back in the day, Bissouma leaves Spurs on a free as the dawn of a new era starts under Roberto De Zerbi. Fulham were linked, that's gone quiet.

 Dani Ceballos - Real Madrid

Came to a mutual agreement to terminate his contract at Real Madrid, a year before its end. Streets won't forget that Arsenal loan spell. Surely he has another club lined up.

Jadon Sancho - Man United

The biggest saved till last. Has Premier League options on the table, but opts to move abroad. A spell at United resorted in loans at Chelsea, Dortmund and Villa. Needs a move to prosper.
