DEPARTURES



In terms of players leaving, 15 names were on the released list supplied to the Premier League in June.

These included first-teamers Ander Herrera and Antonio Valencia, whose departures were confirmed before the season ended. Valencia has since returned to his native Ecuador, joining LDU Quito, while Herrera's move to French champions Paris Saint-Germain has been confirmed.

Matty Willock was the first man whose transfer was announced, by signing for Gillingham, with Regan Poole sealing a switch to MK Dons soon afterwards.

James Wilson penned a two-year deal with Aberdeen, where he spent last season on loan, on 3 July.

USA international Matthew Olosunde successfully concluded talks with Rotherham United over a two-year deal, and forward Josh Bohui sealed a switch to NAC Breda in the Netherlands.
