The top free agents Championship sides can target after the transfer window closes

The transfer window has ended, but that does not necessarily mean the end of signings, as a number of options remain available.

Clubs can still sign free agents throughout the course of the year, as long as they were not registered to a club at the start of the season, and a host of exciting prospects are still available.

From highly-experienced internationals to title-winning talents, free agents provide an opportunity for new faces to be brought into a club without having to take a risk with an expensive transfer fee.

While we know that Marcelo Bielsa likes to run a steady ship and is unlikely to want any new faces at this stage, plenty of Leeds United's Championship rivals could look to bring in fresh faes.

Here, we have identified a selection of some of the best free agents still available to sign from English clubs, as well as those from Europe, alongside the side they most recently left.
