A number of Premier League stars have entered the final few months of their deals and now look increasingly likely to become free agents at the end of the season.
Mikel Arteta's side have prioritised extending the deals of players at risk of leaving in the near future and the contract situation for the team is in a strong position as a result.
Nothing to report for the summer and with no potential exits on a free, Arsenal can now concentrate on more important matters on the pitch.
A seemingly shrewd addition to Unai Emery's squad when signed for just over £5m from Luton Town in 2024. Injuries have plagued his second stint at Villa, after previously joining on loan from Chelsea in the 2020/21 campaign, but has stepped in while Youri Tielemans and John McGinn were both out injured.
Whether that warrants a fresh deal at Villa Park remains to be seen.
In the absence of Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi, following their moves to Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain respectively, Senesi has become a fundamental cog at Bournemouth but now looks set to leave the club as a free agent.
Talks were reportedly under way regarding a new deal but like the future of his boss Andoni Iraola, there has been no news as of yet.
Brentford hold the option to extend Henry's 10-year stay in west London by an additional year so are in no danger of losing the left-back.
Henry has featured heavily this season but limped off with yet another injury against Bournemouth in early March.
Another future at Brentford that the club are in control of. Jensen is one of three players with an option of an additional year in his current contract.
The 30-year-old has been used prominently in the Carabao Cup.
Dasilva signed a deal in October to remain at the club until the end of the season after seeing his previous contract expire in the summer.
The 27-year-old is yet to return from a serious knee injury suffered in February but head coach Andrews has stressed his importance to the team. Brentford hold an option to keep him for a further 12 months if his return from injury goes to plan.
A severe knee injury in pre-season has ruled Webster out for the majority of the current campaign, after thigh and hamstring problems limited him to just 11 starts in the Premier League in 2024/25.
Webster has been a key figure for the Seagulls since joining from Bristol City in 2019 but injury problems could now play their part in his future at the Amex Stadium. He has also made his intentions clear by saying he wants to remain at the club.
With game time limited for the 31-year-old in wide areas but his return from injury ramping up, it is unclear whether the club will trigger the option to extend his stay by another year.
Veltman triggered an option to extend his stay at the club for an additional year last season but is now approaching the end of his contract.
The defender has spoken openly about his future amid links to his former club Ajax after admitting he will make a decision this summer but remains happy at Brighton.
The Premier League veteran, who broke the record for most appearances in the top-flight in February, is undecided on whether he plays on past the current season but remains open to extending his deal at Brighton.
"I think things change very quickly in football, and I think when you get to my age things change very quickly as well," said the 40-year-old when asked about his contract situation.
"I'm pretty open at this moment in time. Whether I will or whether I won't [continue playing], I'm not sure. The club - we haven't had any conversations, so obviously the club have to be interested as well."
Dubravka signed a one-year deal with the Clarets upon their return to the Premier League. With relegation now likely for Burnley, his future at Turf Moor will likely be determined at the end of the season.
Laurent has been a useful member of the squad since joining from Stoke City in 2024. He signed a two-year deal when he first arrived at the club, with the option for a third.
The Czech Republic shot-stopper has been included in match-day squads sparingly this season and is yet to make an appearance in the 2025/26 campaign after featuring in pre-season.
With 21-year-old Max Weiss currently ahead of him as Dubravka's understudy, an exit feels inevitable.
Barnes signed a deal running until the end of the season after terminating his contract at Norwich City in January, returning to Turf Moor almost 11 years after he first joined the club.
He then put pen to paper on a new one-year deal in the summer but has failed to make an impact in the Premier League.
Chelsea are known for offering long-term deals to their players and have no one approaching the end of their respective deals ahead of next summer.
In his second spell with the Eagles, Clyne signed a one-year contract extension with the club in the summer.
Clyne will be 35 when his current contract expires but has filled in usefully when Daniel Munoz was injured.
Lerma is a useful and reliable option for Oliver Glasner to turn to, especially as he looks to balance fixture congestion with Europe.
It has been reported that talks for a new deal have been planned. The Eagles hold an option to extend his stay at Selhurst Park for an additional year.
Both David Moyes and Mykolenko have confirmed talks regarding a new contract at Everton. The 26-year-old remains a key part of the squad with summer signing Adam Aznou yet to break into the first team.
Another mainstay in Moyes' squad. Keane reportedly had offers to leave the Toffees in the summer but chose to remain on Merseyside by signing a new deal and is now benefiting from that decision.
Keane, 32, has an option to extend his stay for an additional 12 months.
Gueye signed a new deal in July, running until the end of the season, but the club hold an option for an additional year.
The Senegal international, in his second stint with the Toffees after leaving in 2019 to join PSG for £26m, has been a regular for Moyes in the league so far this season.
The 36-year-old club legend signed a new deal just before the new campaign began to commit to a 17th season with the Blues.
He has been used sparingly but would likely jump at the chance to end his career at Everton with another deal, if he wishes to continue past the 2025/26 season.
The Fulham academy graduate rejoined the club on a free transfer after leaving Tottenham in 2024.
His importance is growing at Craven Cottage and the club hold an option to extend his stay by an additional 12 months. If he can stay fit and continue his current trajectory, expect a new deal with fresh terms to reflect his importance to arrive in the near future.
Harry Wilson looks increasingly likely to become a free agent when his contract at Fulham expires this summer.
Premier League clubs showed an interest in Wilson during the January transfer window but Fulham wanted to keep the player long-term and have held contract talks.
Wilson has been free to negotiate pre-contract agreements with clubs abroad since January 1 after entering the final six months of his deal at Craven Cottage.
Jimenez was another player whose contract was extended until the end of the 2025/26 season and he continues to play a key role for Silva, competing with Rodrigo Muniz for the starting role up front for the Cottagers.
The 25-year-old has fallen out of favour at Elland Road after previously being a mainstay in the team.
Meslier started 39 games on the way to Leeds' promotion to the Premier League last season but is yet to feature for the Lilywhites this season.
An exit from the club to bring his five-year stay to an end seems inevitable.
Signed on a free transfer from West Ham in 2023, Byram was a useful option for Daniel Farke to turn to on their push for promotion, making 36 appearances in the Championship, but has been unable to have the same impact since the Whites returned to the top-flight.
Darlow has been a shrewd signing for just over £350,000 from Newcastle in 2023 and has solidified himself in the starting line-up as Leeds look to avoid relegation this season.
Academy graduate Cairns has never made a first-team appearance for Leeds since re-joining the club from Salford City in 2024.
Arne Slot has confirmed talks are ongoing with Ibrahima Konate regarding his contract at Liverpool.
Liverpool will only agree terms with Konate if they are in keeping with their wage structure and they have also explored the market for potential replacements.
The veteran defender has insisted he is relaxed about his future at Anfield with his contract coming to an end this season.
