The top 5 Premier League players out of contract this summer

It seems Arsenal are unwilling to pay astronomical wages to a player not necessarily considered a guaranteed starter. Yet while it appeared Luiz was set to leave the Emirates, reports this week claim the 33-year-old is happy to re-sign on reduced terms.

Luiz has started every Premier League game since Mikel Arteta took charge in December but with William Saliba returning from a loan spell at Saint-Etienne, there will be plenty of competition for places at the back.

Adam Lallana

Injuries have forced Lallana to become a bit-part player for Liverpool in the last few seasons and at 32, the midfielder is likely considering one final move to ensure playing time in the final stage of his career.

Despite his fitness issues, Lallana has still appeared 15 times in the Premier League this season and Jurgen Klopp no doubt sees him as a useful squad player, particularly with Liverpool likely to challenge on all fronts again next term.

But half the Premier League will fancy their chances of signing him if he decides to move on and with rumours of Leicester sniffing around, Lallana may value playing time over anything else.

Ryan Fraser

Fraser hasn’t exactly had a fall from grace but having gone from being linked with mega-money moves to Arsenal and Liverpool to scoring just once for Bournemouth this season, the Scottish winger may fancy a change of scenery.

The Cherries are desperate to keep him and are continuing to pursue negotiations and extend his stay. But they’ll be concerned that Fraser has recently switched agents to Paul Martin, who also represents Arsenal boss Arteta.

The 26-year-old has once again been linked with a switch to the Emirates, as well as their north London rivals Tottenham, and after a difficult year on the south coast, Fraser may feel a move is exactly what he needs to rediscover some form.

Willian

After a trophy-laden seven-year spell at Chelsea, Willian is expected to leave the west London club this summer. The Brazilian was subject to interest from Barcelona a year ago and has been linked with Real Madrid this time around.

But it seems he’s not in Frank Lampard’s plans, with the Blues boss preferring to plan for the future with younger players. Pedro is also out of contract, meaning Chelsea could be left short of options out wide if both were to leave.

However, they’ll be keen to get back in the transfer market having been banned from signing players last summer. Willian has been linked with a switch to Tottenham to link up with former boss Mourinho, having previously rejected Spurs to complete his move to Stamford Bridge.

Who else is out of contract?

The Premier League will say goodbye to one of its greatest ever midfielders this summer as David Silva looks set to leave Manchester City. The Spaniard announced last summer that this season would be his last at the club and he’s been linked with a move to MLS.

Elsewhere, Ben Foster is approaching the end of his deal at Watford. Despite his age, the 37-year-old has enjoyed one of the best seasons of his career and the Hornets will be keen to hang on to him. The former England international is reportedly being chased by Celtic, as is Joe Hart, whose deal at Burnley is coming to an end.

There could also be movement for several other former England players, with Leighton Baines, Andy Carroll, Phil Jagielka, Nathaniel Clyne and Aaron Lennon all set to be free agents, while Wes Morgan, Pablo Zabaleta and Shane Long are also in the final month of their contracts.
