9. LM: Josh Murphy - £1.62m (Oxford United)
Following his release from Cardiff at the end of last term, the winger joined Karl Robinson’s side on a free transfer in July after penning a two-year deal at the Kassam Stadium.

The Belgian forward signed for Barnsley from French side Toulouse in 2021 but would go on to net just three goals in 25 Championship outings for the Tykes last term. Having missed the Reds’ final pre-season tie, the 24-year-old is yet to make an appearance this term as he continues his recovery from injury. Photo: Marc Atkins
The promising young Spurs loanee was handed his first Pompey start away at Cardiff on Tuesday evening. Having arrived on a season-long loan at the end of July, the 18-year-old has appeared off the bench twice in the Blues’ opening two league games. Photo: Dan Minto
