Which Premier League players could leave on a free in summer?

Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood is thoroughly enjoying his 13th season in the Premier League, but his recent exploits at the City Ground may have caught the eye of clubs overseas.

He joined Forest on loan from Newcastle in January 2023, before signing a permanent deal in the summer of that year, and has gone from strength to strength.

New Zealand striker Wood, 33, already has 10 league goals under his belt this season as third-placed Forest dream of European football.

Another in-form player facing an uncertain future is Amad Diallo.

The Ivory Coast winger, 22, has been a revelation under Ruben Amorim at Manchester United.

Diallo has looked excellent wide on the right in Amorim’s 3-4-3 and, while United have a one-year option to extend, he will surely be handed a new contract to stay at Old Trafford.

Thomas Partey was a mainstay in the Arsenal midfield when Mikel Arteta first took charge but spent most of last season on the sidelines due to injury.

Now in his fifth campaign at the Emirates and with fitness a concern, could the Ghana international, 31, be allowed to secure a move away?

Newcastle striker Callum Wilson is another whose career has been derailed by injuries, but when fit, the 32-year-old remains a reliable and proven finisher.

Crystal Palace’s 25-year-old left-back Tyrick Mitchell, Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff, 27, Southampton’s 27-year-old full-back Kyle Walker-Peters and Manchester United defenders Harry Maguire, 31, and Victor Lindelof, 30, are others who could be fielding calls in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, Premier League clubs are also primed to pounce for several high-profile targets who currently ply their trade overseas.

Bayern Munich have three players who are attractive options, with Canada full-back Alphonso Davies, 24, midfielder Joshua Kimmich, 29, and winger Leroy Sane, 28, all out of contract in the summer.

The trio have been linked with Premier League clubs over the past 12 months and the opportunity to bring them in on a free, along with Bayer Leverkusen’s 28-year-old defender Jonathan Tah, might prove difficult to turn down.

In France, Canada striker Jonathan David, 24, has yet to agree fresh terms with Lille. He is Ligue 1’s leading scorer with 11 goals in 15 appearances, and club team-mate, midfielder Angel Gomes, 24, could also return to England when his contract expires.
