With the transfer window shut, some Rangers and Celtic supporters are already casting their one eye on the summer to see which players could potentially strengthen their armoury in the seasons to come.
Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic side enjoyed their best Champions League campaign in over a decade, but there’s a clear desire to see them go even deeper in the competition next year, with key positions and potential transfer targets already at the forefront of many supporters minds.
Meanwhile, Rangers are in dire need of fresh races despite a big turnover of players last summer. Beaten Scottish League Cup finalists, the Ibrox club are already out of the Scottish Cup, and appear destined to miss out on the Scottish Premiership title yet again.
However, with the summer just over two months away, could the Old Firm find some gems in the free agent market? Kieran Tierney is already set to re-join the Hoops on a Bosman free transfer, but could the club scour the market even further? Could Rangers find the players they need, without playing a single penny in transfer fees?
Here at The Scotsman, we’ve taken a look through the top 10 English Premier League stars set to become free agents this summer.
9. Sergio Reguilon - Tottenham Hotspur
Capped six times by the Spanish national team, Reguilon has played just three games for Tottenham Hotspur this season following loan spells with Manchester United and Brentford. Clearly a very talented full-back, his Spurs contract expires in the summer. Still just 28, he would be a very shrewd free transfer, if a compromise could be found over his reported £53,000 weekly wage. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
10. Christian Eriksen - Manchester United
Coming towards the twilight of his career at 33, the Danish playmaker has found regular game time hard to come by at Manchester United in the last year. Linked to Celtic in the January window, Eriksen is a dead ball specialist who has plenty of Champions League experience. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
