Also, a sizeable Danish pay packet is set to leave the Emirates.
The Premier League have published their yearly list of retained and out of contract players, with one player’s name standing out among the hundreds on the roster.
‘Lampard Frank James’ has not yet been offered a new deal at Chelsea so sits alongside the likes of Samuel Eto’o and Ashley Cole in being free to chat to other clubs.
Nicklas Bendtner will finally be bidding Arsenal adieu, while other players on the list who are out of contract include Gareth Barry (Manchester City), Keiren Westwood (Sunderland), Steven Reid (West Brom), Joe Cole (West Ham) and, of course, Rio Ferdinand of Manchester United.
United, meanwhile, have seemingly extended the contract of Patrice Evra.
