📸 The best free agent XI who definitely deserve new clubs | OneFootball

The transfer window may be over, but that doesn’t mean bargains are off the table.

Here is our best free agent XI in football …

Goalkeeper

Heinz Lindner

Over 250 Austrian Bundesliga and Bundesliga appearances, plus 22 for Austria. Decent second choice?

Defenders

RB: Ignazio Abate

Without a club since leaving Milan in July, but at 32 could still do a job. Still quicker than most.

CB: Younés Kaboul

A powerhouse on his day who could definitely still provide cover, plus plenty of Premier League experience.

CB: Felipe Santana

Scored in a Champions League semi-final and he takes a mean free-kick. Can’t go wrong with that.

LB: Fabio Coentrão

Remember him? The former Real Madrid and Sporting left-back is unattached and ready to sign.

Midfielders

CM: Lucas Silva

Had his Real Madrid contract ‘mutually terminated’ after four difficult years, but is only 26! Someone take a gamble.

CM: Andrea Bertolacci

Looked absolutely incredible at Genoa before taking at Milan. Deserves another chance to shine.

AM: Hatem Ben Arfa

Outrageous talent. Ridiculous technique. Questionable temperament. Barcelona should sign him on a one-year deal.

Forwards

RW: Jonathan Biabany

A name from the archives! Had three spells at Inter – could Antonio Conte make it four?

ST: Wilfried Bony

On his day, a really excellent striker. Shame we haven’t seen his best days since 2016.

LW: Giuseppe Rossi

Has anyone had worse injury luck? A really brilliant forward who is still only 32.
