QPR, Millwall and Charlton Athletic could still sign these 5 Championship free agents after Deadline Day

QPR, Millwall and Charlton Athletic all dipped into the January transfer window as they look to fuel play-off pushes and fight off a potential relegation scrap.

Julien Stephan, Alex Neil and Nathan Jones will now plan to get the best of their squads for the remainder of the campaign but, just because the window is closed, doesn’t mean the London trio can’t still strengthen.

Championship sides can still recruit a player without a club currently and LondonWorld looks at five free agents with Championship experience that could present a tempting option - with market values as per Transfermarkt.

Lucas Andersen - £260,000

It seems unlikely that QPR would consider any move for Andersen, having released the midfielder at the end of last season. The 31-year-old frustrated at times during his season and a half at Loftus Road, but did show moments of real class.

Andersen had received offers from Olympiakos Nicosia of Cyprus and several Saudi Arabian clubs in the summer but turned those down. Earlier this season, he said: “To all of that [linked clubs] I can say a clear yes! But I have also decided that I don’t want to play just to play. I accept the consequences it must have and am waiting for the right change in my football career.”

Onel Hernandez - £345,000

Hernandez has a huge 210 Championship appearances to his name with 14 goals and 25 assists in the division. The winger had joined Charlton Athletic on a short term deal in September but, after just six appearances, left at the end of his deal last month.

The 33-year-old didn’t feature in a matchday squad after the end of November. The player’s most memorable stint of his career so far came while on the books at Norwich City between 2018 and 2025, winning the Championship twice - in 2019 and 2021.

Aaron Ramsey - £430,000

FA Cup and Serie A winner Ramsey is still without a club following his departure from Mexican club UNAM in October. The midfielder had only made six appearances for the club but struggled to settle into life in Mexico, the disappearance of his dog Halo taking a toll on the player.

The former Arsenal man had spent two years at Cardiff City but made just eight league appearances last season due to a hamstring injury. There’s a spot in the Wales squad for Ramsey to think about over the back end of this season.

Malcolm Ebiowei - £860,000

Ebiowei has been without a club for months, having left Blackpool as a free agent in September. The forward joined the Tangerines on a two-year deal in August 2025, with the club holding the option for another year.

The 22-year-old, who came through the academy at Chelsea, Arsenal and Rangers, had made just three cameo appearances from the bench this season. Ebiowei has played 32 times in the Championship thanks to his time at Derby County and Hull City, with one goal and two assists in the competition.

Nathan Redmond - £1 million

Redmond left struggling Sheffield Wednesday at the end of January following a short spell at Hillsborough. The former Norwich City and Southampton man had joined the Owls in November on a short-term deal.

The winger played just 132 minutes of football across seven appearances for the Yorkshire outfit and failed to start a match with an injury early on in his stay not helping. The 31-year-old does have 276 appearances of Premier League football with 28 goals and 25 assists in the top flight.
