These are the definitive best Premier League free transfers of all time
Transcript
00:00The art of free transfers. First and foremost, and I cannot leave him out if we're talking about
00:06free transfers, Sol Campbell. This man left Tottenham to join Arsenal. Do you understand
00:11how mental that is? Let's follow it up with the fact that he literally won the Premier League
00:15at White Hart Lane and was part of the Invincibles. Followed up with being probably one of Arsenal's
00:20best ever centre-backs. It's nuts. All on a free transfer. Right, this is what I'm talking about.
00:25Joel Matip. Liverpool signed Matip in 2016 and this is exactly what they needed. Someone that
00:29can just step up, be consistent, put in a good shift every single time that he wears the shirt.
00:35He became probably one of the most underrated players under one of the best managers in Liverpool
00:39history and Jurgen Klopp during one of their most successful eras. Now this is a good one. Michael
00:44Balak. Prime Barkley's name. We're talking about the Samsung on the front of that Chelsea shirt at
00:49Stamford Bridge. That Chelsea team alone was absolutely world-class but everyone thinks of
00:54Chelsea as being the big spenders. So how about a free transfer and a player that became a superstar?
00:59A proper, proper signing. Let's go one step further. Do you remember when Leicester had
01:04their great escape just before winning the Premier League? Esteban Cambiasso on a free
01:09transfer. Now that is exactly what I mean. A player that's very underrated but very, very
01:14good. Didn't cost the club really anything but brought that leadership, that experience
01:18into a side that needed it and of course gave him a huge platform to then go and push on.
01:22But let me know, is there any other free transfers that are just perfect?
