Premier League: Out of contract XI

With clubs starting to form their transfer plans for the summer, we take a look at a Premier League XI that are set to leave on a free transfer at the end of the season.

GK - Lukasz Fabianksi

Lukasz Fabianski has played 375 times in the Premier League and ranks amongst the top-20 for all-time clean sheets in the league.

Now 40, the Polish international joined West Ham in 2018 where he has remained ever since.

After five consecutive seasons as the club's number one, Fabianski has fallen out of favour in recent times with Alphonse Areola a preferred starter.

RB - Ola Aina

One of the outstanding full-backs in the Premier League this season, Ola Aina would be a name high on the list of various clubs.

It has been reported that Nottingham Forest have an option to extend his deal but there has been no public announcement from the club or player.

The 28-year-old has been pivotal to Forest's rise up the Premier League table that may result in qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League.

CB - Victor Lindelof

After almost eight years at the club it is looking increasingly likely that Lindelof will leave Manchester United in 2025.

Sweden's captain has won both an FA Cup and League Cup during his time at Old Trafford but has seen his playing time severely reduced in recent seasons.

Still only 30, expect Lindelof to be the subject of plenty of speculation heading into the summer.

CB - Axel Tuanzebe

"I think it'll be one of the bigger clubs in England in the coming years", said Axel Tuanzebe when asked about Ipswich Town's future.

He doesn't sound like a player who is itching to leave Portman Road but the defender has insisted that no discussions have taken place with the club ahead of the expiration of his deal this summer.

The Congolese footballer joined Ipswich on a free after spells with Manchester United, Aston Villa, Stoke City and Napoli.

LB - Tyrick Mitchell

A one-club man, Tyrick Mitchell has been a key figure at Crystal Palace since he broke through to the first team in 2019/20.

The 25-year-old has played a part in all 34 Premier League games so far this season and his departure would certainly be a blow to Palace.

There has been reported interest from Tottenham for the left-back who became a full England international in 2022.

CM - Trent Alexander-Arnold

Probably the most high-profile contract situation across the footballing world.

Rumours continue to swirl over the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold despite reports suggesting that he has already signed a contract agreement with Real Madrid.

The two-time Premier League winner would get into any side in the world but there appears to be only two possibilities for the 26-year-old; remain with his boyhood club or leave for the Spanish capital.

CM - Abdoulaye Doucoure

Vastly experienced in England's top-flight, Abdoulaye Doucoure has 275 Premier League appearances to his name.

The Mali international has confirmed his desire to remain with Everton for the 2025/26 season but the Toffees are yet to make a decision.

He celebrated his recent 94th minute winner against Nottingham Forest by mimicking the signing of a contract, leading to further speculation.

CM - Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne announced in early April that he would end his near decade-long association with Manchester City.

The Belgian midfielder has racked up 16 major honours during his time with the club and has the opportunity to add a third FA Cup to his collection after his side reached the final on Sunday.

The two-time Premier League Player of the Year will be on the radar of many clubs with Aston Villa reportedly planning a move.

RW - Adama Traore

One of the most athletic and entertaining players in the league.

Adama Traore is blessed with blistering speed, making him a nuisance for Premier League full-backs for almost a decade.

The Spaniard has been with Fulham for the last two years but it remains to be seen whether the club will take up the option to extend his current deal into next campaign.

ST - Dominic Calvert-Lewin

There was a time where Dominic Calvert-Lewin was considered one of the most promising forwards in the country.

Injury problems have hampered his development but with 57 Premier League goals to his name, the talent is obvious.

This summer may end his stay at Everton but he will be the subject of a lot of attention should he depart on a free this summer.

LW - Willian

With 325 Premier League games to his name, no Brazilian has played more times in the league than Willian.

The 36-year-old seems sure to depart Fulham this summer after only rejoining the club in February.

Now in the twilight of his career, he was once an integral part of Chelsea's squad, contributing to over 100 goals at Stamford Bridge.
