The 9 Arsenal and Spurs players currently set to leave clubs next summer ahead of North London derby

The Premier League returns with a bang this weekend as Tottenham Hotspur host Arsenal in the first North London derby of the season.

Three points separate the two fierce rivals after the opening three fixtures of the campaign and Spurs will be hoping to record their first derby victory since May 2022.

With the transfer window now closed, both Mikel Arteta and Ange Postecoglou will no doubt turn to new arrivals where possible. For some players, it could be their penultimate derby day with contracts set to run out at the end of the season.

With the summer window now closed, LondonWorld looks at the nine Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur players who could quit the clubs come the end of the campaign.

Arsenal contracts expiring in 2025

Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has been linked with a move to Turkish side Galatasaray in recent days and those rumours are fuelled by the fact that the midfielder is in the final 12 months of his contract. The former Chelsea man put pen to paper on a short-term extension in May this year.

There could be another high-profile free agent departure in midfield next summer. Thomas Partey signed a four-year deal with the club when arriving from Atletico Madrid in 2020 with an option for an additional year, which is what he is into now. The 31-year-old isn't thought to be short of suitors across the continent.

Then there are the loan deals currently in Mikel Arteta's squad. Deadline Day arrival Raheem Sterling is only at the Emirates Stadium from Chelsea for the season. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Neto also signed for a season-long loan this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur contracts expiring in 2025

Spurs star forward Son Heung-Min is without doubt the most high profile player whose current deal is set to expire at the end of the season. The talisman signed a new four-year deal in 2021 but there is talk of the club being able to trigger another 12 months.

Tottenham Hotspur signed full-back Sergio Reguilon from Real Madrid on a five-year contract in 2020 and that deal is therefore due to expire next summer. The defender has been a fringe player at Spurs recently and spent last season on loan at Manchester United and Brentford.

Ben Davies is another defender struggling for minutes under Ange Postecoglou. He penned a three-year extension in 2022 and has already been with the club for a decade.

Goalkeepers Fraser Forster and Alfie Whiteman both signed deals in 2023 that are due to expire next summer. Timo Werner is, of course, a loanee from RB Leipzig but the Premier League club has the option to make the deal permanent.
