5 free agents to look out for this January

#2 Jan Kirchhoff

Jan Kirchhoff's career has been plagued with injuries

The ex-Sunderland man who plays as a centre-back and defensive midfielder has been without a club since May. After an injury-ravaged second season at the club, the Black Cats decided not to renew his contract.

Now well recovered and only 27 years of age, Kirchhoff can wait patiently for offers to come to him, especially with his CV boasting the likes of Mainz, Bayern Munich, Schalke and most recently Sunderland. Reports in Germany have suggested that Hannover may be tempted to take a chance on signing him.
