Danny Ings joins Wycombe and Michail Antonio signs for Watford as free agents keep moving after deadline day

The closure of the transfer window did not stop clubs from adding to their squads, with free agents and late loan deals continuing to be confirmed throughout September.

Free agent signings after transfer deadline day

Wycombe double up with Ings and Wildsmith

Wycombe Wanderers were the busiest of the late movers, announcing the free-transfer signing of Joe Wildsmith on 24 September, with Danny Ings' arrival confirmed the following day alongside Newport County's signing of Aaron Lewis and Colchester United's move for Beryly Lubala.

Antonio, Ayew and Flint find new homes

Michail Antonio, available as a free agent, joined Watford on 11 September — the same day Aden Flint signed for Rochdale and Swansea's Zeidane Inoussa joined Gornik Zabrze on loan. Jordan Ayew linked up with Sheffield United as a free agent on 8 September, when the Blades also loaned out Ehije Ukaki to Botev Plovdiv and Nils Zatterstrom to Rakow Czestochowa.

The rest of September's moves

Liverpool agree N'Guessan deal

Among the post-window moves, Liverpool agreed a £4.3m deal for Saint-Etienne's Djylian N'Guessan on 4 September, with the player joining officially in January. Coventry City signed Yann Gboho from Toulouse for an undisclosed fee, Derby County brought in Nicholas Bilakopic, and Middlesbrough's Morgan Whittaker joined the Colorado Rapids for an undisclosed fee.
