Five Prem stars could still seal transfers today including Man Utd ace Hannibal
Mauricio Pochettino was left a Chelsea gift by Thomas Tuchel and a £150m headache
Premier League stars still have an escape route out of their clubs despite the English transfer window being closed for a fortnight. Teams in Turkey are still able to buy players until this evening, while the Qatari and UAE markets remain open until September 18 and 21 respectively, giving those who are facing bleak futures one final chance to pave their way out of their misery. Express Sport looks at five players who could still leave England.
Malang Sarr
Signed during Frank Lampard’s first tenure at Chelsea, Malang Sarr was expected to develop into a useful squad member at Stamford Bridge. But that has never quite happened for the former Nice defender after arriving on a free transfer.
Reported to be on wages of £100,000 per-week at Chelsea, Sarr can take advantage of the Turkish transfer window remaining open until tonight. He was not named in Mauricio Pochettino’s Premier League squad and seemingly has no future in west London.
After 21 appearances for the Blues and a forgettable loan spell at AS Monaco last season, it is time to move on. Otherwise, the 24-year-old faces being sat in the stands until at least January.

Kortney Hause
Defender Kortney Hause was an unsurprising omission from Aston Villa’s Premier League squad after being snubbed by Unai Emery.
The former England Under-21 international played just three matches on loan at Championship outfit Watford last season and has returned to Villa to find more defensive signings blocking his path.
At 28, Hause may decide to resurrect his career abroad in search of regular game time. A move to Turkey could be beneficial if he wants regular game time at a good level for the next few months.

Hannibal Mejbri
According to the Mirror, Besiktas are hoping to sign Hannibal Mejbri on loan from Manchester United before their transfer deadline. The playmaker spent last season on a temporary deal at Birmingham, where he impressed in the second tier.
The 20-year-old proved to be a cut above most of his peers in the Midlands and now needs top-flight football. He will not get that at United, where he does not quite seem trusted by Erik ten Hag after the signings of Mason Mount and Sofyan Amrabat.
A switch to Besiktas, who will play in the Europa Conference League, could be an invaluable experience for the youngster.
Jonjo Shelvey
Jonjo Shelvey will reportedly end his dismal spell at Nottingham Forest by following several Premier League stars to Turkey.
The Daily Telegraph reports that the former England midfielder is close to joining Rizespor having played just eight times for Forest since signing in January.
Forest boss Steve Cooper added Shelvey to his squad for his experience but several midfield signings in the summer transfer window will see the former Liverpool man make a quick exit.
Ethan Horvath
Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Ethan Horvath has gone from the highs of promotion on loan at Luton to being left out of his parent club’s Premier League squad and needs to make a quick exit.
The 28-year-old was excellent for the Hatters as they sealed a shock play-off success in May, but the newly-promoted side opted for other targets in goal.
No other EFL club decided to take a punt on the 28-year-old this summer, likely leaving him without regular football until January. That is, of course, unless a club whose window remains open tries to sign the American former Club Brugge and Molde star in the coming days.
