Burnley
Nine players' contracts expire at the end of the season at Burnley. Nine! You don't want to be in that situation. To be fair, a lot will also depend on where Burnley end up once the season ends.
Will they stay in the Premier League or will they go down? Added to this is the uncertainty surrounding their manager. They are currently 17th in the Premier League, level on points with 18th-placed Leeds United, ahead only on goal difference.
Trending
Ben Mee is the obvious name the club wants to hold on to. However, the captain wants to end the season before penning down a new deal.
It is believed that Jack Cork and Ashley Barnes should have their one-year extensions triggered. James Tarkowski has made his intentions clear and will leave in the summer along with Striker Matej Vydra.
Other names on the list include Phil Bardsley, Erik Pieters, Dale Stephens, and Aaron Lennon.
Chelsea
Antonio Rudiger has completed his switch from the Premier League to Real Madrid. The BBC reported that Andreas Christensen is off to Barcelona. The BBC also added that club captain Cesar Azpilicueta might follow his teammate despite triggering a clause to extend his stay by one year.
Danny Drinkwater's five-year contract worth 100k-week is coming to an end this summer.
Academy graduates Charly Musonda and Jake Clarke-Salter will also leave, with a couple of clubs in the Premier League and abroad interested in signing the latter, as per The Sun.
Crystal Palace
Palace could lose up to seven players at the end of the season.
The club has held talks with Cheikhou Kouyate but Martin Kelly and Jaroslaw Jach are expected to leave. James Tomkins could join them if the option for a further year is not pursued.
Back in February, Patrick Viera said this about Kouyate:
“We are in a situation where it is too early to talk about what will happen with Cheikhou or some of the players,” said Vieira on Monday.
Palace will likely trigger the one-year option in Jordan Ayew’s contract. That clause also exists for James McArthur, but the list of FA intermediary transactions suggests his deal has already been renewed without any official confirmation.
Nathaniel Clyne's future is up in the air.
Everton
Everton could have five first-team players at the end of the season.
Cenk Toson has not been offered a new deal and looks set to leave the club.
You could say the same for Fabian Delph, Jonjoe Kenny, Gylfi Sigurdsson or Asmir Begovic. None of them have agreed to an extension, except for Begovic, who has a one-year option. The Premier League club has some decisions to make.
