10 free agents Sunderland can still sign after the window closed | OneFootball

Sunderland’s window closed with a late double deal, yet a clutch of high-profile free agents remains on the market for them and their Premier League rivals.

Sunderland Echo reports that the Black Cats beat Crystal Palace to Lyon winger Malick Fofana, then added Ecuador youth forward Juan Riquelme Angulo on a five-year contract.

Several leagues are still open, so some departures from the Stadium of Light could follow in the coming days. Any standard incomings must wait until January. Free agents can only feature if there is room in a club’s 25-man Premier League squad, otherwise they must wait until the next registration period.

The 10 standout options include Jadon Sancho, unattached after loans at Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa following his Manchester United spell. Ismael Bennacer has left AC Milan and is available. Riyad Mahrez departed Al Ahli last month. Tyrell Malacia exited Manchester United at the end of last season. Anthony Martial is without a club after leaving Monterray.

Wilfried Zaha is a free agent after leaving Galatasaray, having also spent time with Charlotte. David Alaba is available after leaving Real Madrid. Georginio Wijnaldum is available after Al-Ettifaq. Adam Webster departed Brighton and Hove Albion after more than 150 appearances. Diogo Leite left Union Berlin at the end of last season.
