Full list of Premier League free agents for Preston North End, Blackburn Rovers, QPR and co to consider

A whole host of top flight players have been released this summer, as Championship no doubt weigh up potential free agent swoops.

Preston North End have been as busy as any second tier club so far this summer, with four new players arriving at Deepdale. One of those, Daniel Iversen, was indeed let go by relegated Leicester City.

The Lilywhites also snapped up Jordan Thompson and Pol Valentin for nothing, while paying compensation to Charlton Athletic for Thierry Small. Will PNE now target the loan market, and spend transfer fees? Or, could they eye more freebies?

Below is a full rundown, courtesy of the Premier League, of the players released after the 2024/25 season - including the relegated and promoted trios. There’s a mix of young talent and experienced heads. Forgive the occasional, unrealistic name to crop up!
