The summer transfer window is undoubtedly one of the most important moments in a season. And while its winter counterpart is equally important, it is when training resumes and the league season gets underway that the squad that will be tasked with achieving the objectives set by the various club managements is largely determined.
However, not everyone experiences the transfer window in the same way. Between the more affluent clubs and their more modest counterparts, there is a real gulf in the options available to them as they seek to strengthen their ranks. Nevertheless, as happens every year, a number of players at different levels find themselves without a club as their contracts come to an end. These are market opportunities that are sometimes tempted by the appeal of a genuine project rather than that of greenbacks.
This article now lists the top 11 players who played in the Premier League in the 2023/2024 season, but remain without a club heading into the new 2024/2025 campaign and therefore are currently free agents.
Saman Ghoddos spent four seasons with the Bees, first on loan and then permanently transferred to Brentford from French club Amiens, but never managed to impose himself. In 108 appearances for the Gtech Community Stadium outfit, the Iranian attacking midfielder only managed to record 14 goal contributions (six goals, eight assists). He often played as a substitute, but did play an active role in his side’s return to the English game’s elite.
It was a situation that inevitably precipitated his departure, and his professionalism was praised by his coach Thomas Frank, who emphasised and congratulated his player’s unfailing commitment throughout his time at Brentford
