There's a number of out-of-contract stars looking to be snapped up before the season gets into its full stride, who could prove to be bargain signings. Here's a look at some of the best free agents who Brighton & Hove Albion and their Premier League rivals could look to snap up in the near future.
1. Jack Wilshere
Another former England star looking for a route back to the big time, Wilshere is on the hunt for a new club after being let go by West Ham. He's still only 28, but has seen his career hampered by injury thus far. Photo: Stephen Pond
2. Fabio Borini
A bit of a left-field one here, but the ex-Liverpool man could still prove a useful rotation option. The 29-year-old has just left Serie A side Verona, following a spell with AC Milan. Photo: Alessandro Sabattini
3. Shinji Kagawa
He may well look to end his career in Japan, but the 31-year-old could potentially pursue one more big challenge and return to the Premier League for the first time since leaving Man Utd in 2014. Photo: Toru Hanai
4. Mario Mandzukic
The 34-year-old is likely to demand a hefty wage, but his experience could prove invaluable. The 2018 World Cup finalist has won league titles with Bayern Munich and Juventus in the past. Photo: ISABELLA BONOTTO
