The amazing XI of players who moved on a free transfer this summer

Full-backs - Stephan Lichtsteiner (Arsenal) and Kwadwo Asamoah (Inter Milan)

Lichtsteiner was the first signing of the Unai Emery era

The two full-backs in this XI were also released by Juventus in the summer.

Stephan Lichtsteiner ended his 10-year stint in the Serie A and a seven-year stint with Juventus in the summer to join Arsenal on a free transfer. The Switzerland captain was the first signing of the Unai Emery era at Arsenal.

The 34-year-old represented Juventus in 257 games winning 14 trophies. In fact, he won the league title in all seven seasons he was with the Old Lady.

Asamoah was one of three first team players released by Juventus

Kwadwo Asamoah’s story is somewhat similar to Lichtsteiner. The versatile player joined Juventus in 2012 from Udinese but played only 156 games in six seasons for the club.

Asamoah was a utility player at Juventus and was deployed as a wing-back, left-back and central midfielder during his time there but he was never a crucial member of the team. In fact, he didn’t score a goal in his final four seasons with the club.

The 29-year-old was released in the summer upon the expiry of his contract and he joined rivals Inter Milan.

Honourable mention - Ivan Strinić (AC Milan)
