Goalkeeper

Lukasz Fabianski (40 years old)

After seven years with West Ham, Fabianski officially left the London club this summer. Despite turning 40, the Polish goalkeeper has maintained consistent form. He has been the first-choice goalkeeper for many seasons at various Premier League clubs and could very well continue playing for several more years.

Defender

Takehiro Tomiyasu (26 years old)

Unexpectedly leaving Arsenal with a year remaining on his contract, Tomiyasu chose to terminate his contract early to find a new club. The Japanese player is known for his versatility, capable of playing both wing-back and center-back, and has been used frequently by manager Mikel Arteta in big matches.

Craig Dawson (34 years old)

The veteran Englishman bids farewell to West Ham after several seasons of consistent performances. Dawson is a strong, experienced center-back with extensive experience in the Premier League, and he played a major role in West Ham's Europa Conference League victory in 2023.

Kurt Zouma (29 years old)

Dawson's former West Ham teammate, Zouma, is also yet to find a new club. The French center-back has extensive experience playing in major leagues. He won the Champions League and the Premier League with Chelsea. Even now, Zouma remains useful as he is not yet 30 years old.

Sergio Reguilon (28 years old)

After years on loan at Atletico Madrid, Man Utd, and Brentford, Reguilon has finally officially left Tottenham. The Spanish player was highly regarded for his attacking contributions and as a promising full-back when he first joined Spurs from Real Madrid.

Midfielder

Christian Eriksen (32 years old)

The Danish midfielder recently rejected an offer from English Championship club Wrexham to await the opportunity to continue playing at the highest level in Europe. Eriksen is renowned for his creativity and free-kick ability. After recovering from a heart attack at Euro 2020, he made a determined comeback, playing for Brentford and then Manchester United.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (32 years old)

Once a bright talent in English football, Chamberlain played for both Arsenal and Liverpool. He earned 35 caps for the national team and participated in many major tournaments. After leaving Besiktas, the former midfielder is now attracting interest from Birmingham. It is likely he will have to move down to the English Championship to find regular playing opportunities again.

Dele Alli (29 years old)

Former Tottenham star Alli was once expected to be a long-term mainstay of the England national team, making 37 appearances. However, his career has seriously declined in recent years. After terminating his contract with Como (Italy), Alli has yet to find a new club. He has only played one professional match since February 2023 and urgently needs to get back to playing rhythm.

Forward

William (37 years old)

After his second stint with Fulham, Willian is likely to return to Brazil to end his career. Despite being over 35, the former Chelsea and Arsenal player still possesses the technique, speed, and cunning that once made him a nightmare for many full-backs in the Premier League.

Hakim Ziyech (32 years old)

Champions League winner Ziyech (with Chelsea) in 2021 has left Al-Duhail (Qatar) after his contract expired. The Moroccan forward was a creative force at Ajax and Chelsea, known for his long-range shots and accurate passing. He is currently considering his next career move.

Patrick Bamford (31 years old)

Bamford terminated his contract with Leeds United this summer after falling out of favor under manager Daniel Farke. The English striker had a significant role at Leeds, scoring 17 goals in the 2020/21 season. He also earned one cap for England.
