London free agents XI: the best players from Arsenal, Chelsea and more who are out of contract this summer

A first team of only capital based players whose deals expire in 2022 looks formidable with West Ham, Crystal Palace and Brentford stars also featuring.

Several of the Premier League’s biggest stars are set to become available on free transfers in just a few months time when their current contracts expire.

Players like FIFA World Cup winning Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, who the Red Devils bought for £80m in 2016, are at the top of that list.

Other players whose deals are due to expire include England internationals Jesse Lingard and James Tarkowski as well as several elite level players from Arsenal and Chelsea.

Here we have taken a look at how a starting XI of London based players, who are set to become free agents this summer, could look.

There is plenty of representation from the Blues and the Gunners while stars from West Ham, Crystal Palace and Brentford also make the list.

Although there wasn’t room for any Tottenham Hotspur or Watford players in the squad it still has a broad representation from across the capital city.

The formation is a 3-5-2 with three centre backs, two holding midfielders, an attacking midfield three and two strikers - so could certainly be classed as attacking!

The team features bags of experience and hundreds of international caps.
