With the summer transfer window approaching, we list the Premier League players whose contracts are expiring.

Plenty of big-name stars could be leaving the Premier League this summer, including Yaya Toure, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and John Terry, while some clubs are facing a big restructure at the end of the season.

Crystal Palace have a total of nine players out of contract in the summer, followed by Sunderland, Manchester City and Stoke, who all have six players with just three months left on their deals.

Though Arsenal have just the contract Yaya Sanogo expiring this summer, they face the prospect of several high-profile departures in the summer of 2018.

Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez are two players the Gunners will be desperate to keep, while they have big decisions to make over Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey, Kieran Gibbs and Per Mertesacker.

Jose Mourinho has a similar situation at Manchester United; key players Ibrahimovic and Michael Carrick are contracted until the summer, while first-team players Ander Herrera, Daley Blind, Juan Mata, Antonio Valencia, Jesse Lingard and Luke Shaw see their deals end in 2018.

Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham have a small handful of players to tie down before the summer of 2018, and elsewhere throughout the Premier League, speculation is sure to be rife around Michael Keane, Harry Maguire, Andrew Robertson and Andre Gray.
