The 36 Championship free agents still available including ex-Leeds United, Sunderland & Portsmouth men

The transfer window is officially closed for Championship clubs with summer trading coming to an end at 11pm on Friday - however, there are still plenty of players who could be on the move over the coming weeks.

While teams in the second tier cannot sign players from another club, they are still allowed to complete deals for free agents if they want to add more experience or depth to their squad. Leeds United finished their transfer business last week as they announced two deadline day signings, with Ao Tanaka and Isaac Schmidt the club’s final additions of the window as they now put their full focus into securing promotion to the Premier League.

The Whites reached the Championship play-off final last term as they were beaten 1-0 by Southampton at Wembley. They have started the current campaign with eight points from the first 12 on offer as they now pause for the first international break of the season.

One former Leeds player in Liam Cooper has been left out of Scotland’s squad as he continues to search for his next club. The defender had hoped to join Hull City last week but that move fell through before links to Derby County emerged. Talks took place between Cooper's camp and Leeds over a new deal at Elland Road but no contract offer came with the club only suggesting what they would be willing to consider in principle, which included a salary reflective of game-time and his place in the pecking order. Daniel Farke has Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk as his first-choice centre-half pairing while Max Wober also remains at the club.
