Arsenal – Lukas Podolski
Arsenal will still be able to recoup a decent fee for the 29-year-old, who could be off to Inter Milan.
Aston Villa – Leandro Bacuna
Anyone who loses their place in the team to Alan Hutton needs to consider a change of club, if not career.
Burnley – Nathaniel Chalobah
The midfielder came on loan from Chelsea but has only played 55 minutes for the Clarets. Needs to move to get some minutes.
Chelsea – Mohammed Salah
The Blues picked up the Egyptian winger last January but he hasn’t been able to force his way into the side.
Crystal Palace – Dwight Gayle
Was outstanding for Palace last season, but Neil Warnock clearly doesn’t fancy him and it would be better for both parties if the winger left.
Everton – Christian Atsu
Another Chelsea loanee not getting any minutes at his loan club, needs to prove himself after an impressive World Cup.
Hull City – Hatem Ben Arfa
Ben Arfa arrived on an ill-fated loan spell in the summer and has since disappeared. The Tigers should terminate that deal ASAP.
Leicester City – Marc Albrighton
The winger came to the Foxes to get some minutes, but is still sitting on the bench.
Liverpool – Fabio Borini
Borini’s insane red card against Arsenal on Sunday just compounded his awful season, and a January move would be a blessing for both parties.
Manchester City – Scott Sinclair
The English winger is rotting on the bench at the Etihad Stadium and will soon have no career left to resurrect.
Manchester United – Anderson
United are still paying the Brazilian big wages after the astonishing decision to renew his contract a couple of seasons ago.
Newcastle United – Emmanuel Riviere
It just hasn’t worked out for Riviere on Tyneside, and he has been unable to find the net in nine appearances.
QPR – Adel Taarabt
Harry Redknapp laid into the playmaker earlier in the season for being overweight, and the club would be glad to be rid of him.
Southampton – Emmanuel Mayuka
The forward has just been pushed further down the pecking order by the arrival of Eljero Elia from Werder Bremen.
Stoke City – Robert Huth
The two Marcs – Muniesa and Wilson – have pushed the giant German out of the side, but he could still do a job at Burnley or Palace.
Sunderland – Jozy Altidore
Quite why the Black Cats took a punt on Altidore is a mystery, but the move has been as disastrous as many predicted.
Swansea – Ki Seung Yueng
The midfielder is having another outstanding season and must seize his opportunity to move to a top club while his stock is high.
Tottenham Hotspur – Paulinho
It’s time for Spurs to give up on the Brazilian, who still has the profile to move to a decent club.
West Bromwich Albion – Claudio Yacob
After an outstanding start to his West Brom career Yacob has lost his place in the side, but there will be plenty of side interested in him.
West Ham – Ricardo Vaz Te
The summer arrivals of Enner Valencia and Diafra Sakho have drastically cut down Vaz Te’s playing time.
