Need a footballer? These guys are free!

As the elite clubs scrambled to complete their line-ups with new signings, 65 players who were with Premiership clubs last season were left with feelings of uncertainty as July 1 marked the start of their free agency. Nine of those players, including Manchester City’s Michael Ball and Sheffield United’s Keith Gillespie, are mulling over offers of new contracts from their clubs. The other 56 have less than six weeks to find another team before the new season kicks off.
