Could any of these players be snapped up Premier League clubs shortly…?
This team of players released from clubs all over the world this summer are still available on free transfers.
Therefore, although the transfer window has closed, any side can still offer these stars contracts and make them a part of their squad for the 2014/15 campaign.

GK) Victor Valdes
The former Barcelona man is expected to sign for Liverpool shortly to compete with Simon Mignolet for a starting spot.
DR) Anthony Reveillere
Experienced French right-back released by Napoli. Has enjoyed stints at Lyon and Valencia. At 34, still has one season left in him.
DC) Carlos Marchena
Marchena was part of the Spain squad that won Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup. Won promotion to La Liga with Deportivo last term, but is available on a free.
DC) Mobido Diakite
Ditched by Sunderland after a poor showing in England, Diakite will be lucky to get another Premier League move.
DL) Andrea Dossena
Ex-Italian international formerly of Liverpool and Sunderland. Performs best as a wing-back, which could tempt clubs now the formation is in fashion again.
MC) Alou Diarra
Left West Ham by mutual consent in the summer, Diarra is feisty in the tackle, and has Liverpool and Bayern Munich on his CV.
MC) Sotiris Ninis
Ninis is still only 24, and will be desperate to revive his career after being released by Parma. Was once rated as one of Europe’s biggest young talents.
AMR) Ronaldinho
The legendary Brazilian could shockingly be on his way to the Indian Super League, after Chennai Titans offered him a short-term contract!
AML) Florent Malouda
Ex-Chelsea flyer, Malouda was released by Turkish side Tranzonspor in the summer. He’s proven quality, and could do a job for a lower Premier League side.
FC) Nilmar
Aged only 30, Nilmar has made 23 appearances for Brazil, and once bagged 18 goals for Villarreal in a La Liga season. Has been making absurd money in the Middle East for two years, but could fancy his chances in a serious European league again.
FC) Hugo Almeida
Started Portugal’s opening World Cup match against Germany, but is still without a club after leaving Besiktas in the summer. Powerful, and can hold the ball up for fun, although his distinct lack of pace could be an issue.
