Hein is currently on loan at Werder Bremen, after similar stints at Reading and Real Valladolid. For more on Arsenal, visit our club page Aston Villa. Unai Emery does not have any immediate contract concerns, as all of his first team squad are contracted until at least the year 2027. Ross Barkley’s contract was said to be up this summer, but it is believed that the former England midfielder, 32, signed a three year deal when he moved from Luton Town to Aston Villa in July 2024.

Brentford’s Jamaican left-back Rico Henry has been a star in the Bees’ bid for Europe. The club can extend his stay by an additional year. They also have the option to extend the stays of Mathias Jensen (30) and Josh Dasilva (27), who was given a temporary deal in October to recover from three injury-ravaged years. James Milner, the 40-year-old who is now the most prolific Premier League appearance maker, has not decided his future. However, he remains influential. Adam Webster and Joel Veltman could also become free-agents. Webster, who has been sidelined by a serious ACL tear since July 2025 and has expressed publicly his desire to stay, could also become free agents. Solly March, a 31-year-old winger who has been plagued by serious knee injuries for a long time, has also struggled to get game time over the past three seasons.

Martin Dubravka has played every minute in this season’s league and his experience could be invaluable to the second tier. Axel Tuanzebe (28), a DR Congo defender who is heading to the World Cup, and veteran striker Ashley Barnes (36), a bit-partist in his second stint at the club, as well as Vaclav Hladky (35), a third-choice keeper, could become free agents by June.

ChelseaGiven BlueCo’s policy to tie players down to extremely long contracts, perhaps it’s no surprise that there are no senior Chelsea players who find themselves free agents this summer. Daichi kamada from Japan, and Jefferson Lerma from Colombia, both played regularly in the midfield during this season. However, both players will be unattached by the World Cup. The Eagles do have a year-long option on Lerma. Nathaniel Clyne (35), an ex-England defender in his second stint at Selhurst Park has been used sparingly.

Vitalii Mykolenko (26), a Ukrainian, is also believed to have a one-year contract extension option. Michael Keane (33), meanwhile, has been in excellent form as he fights to secure his future. Seamus Coleman, the club captain, has played only 11 Premier League minutes during his 17th season with the first team. Tyler Onyango, a 23-year-old who is currently on loan at Stockport County, has suffered a hamstring strain. He will likely become a free agent.

Marco Silva, who is out of contract himself, has the option to extend Ryan Sessegnon’s contract by one year. Raul Jimenez has scored nine goals in his World Cup campaign for Mexico. Fulham have also retained one-year options for Luke Harris, a 21-year-old midfielder currently on loan with Wycombe Wanderers and goalkeeper Steven Benda (27), who is on loan with Feyenoord.
