21Matteo Guendouzi has been a huge hit for Arsenal this seasonNo one is more deserving of a new contract than Guendouzi. The Frenchman was thrown into the deep end by manager Unai Emery against Manchester City on the opening day of the season and has gone from strength to strength ever since.He has also featured regularly in Arsenals Europa League campaign and could start against Chelsea in the May 29 final.
Bournemouth – Ryan Fraser

21Ryan Fraser has had his best season in the top-flight for BournemouthNot many football fans would have expected Fraser to end the season with 14 assists, and just one behind leading provider Eden Hazard.He excelled playing on the left wing and also chipped in with seven league goals. His stats read even better given Bournemouth finished the season with just three wins from 14 games. With just one year left on Frasers contract, the Cherries will be desperate to extend his stay.
Brighton – Anthony Knockaert

21Anthony Knockaert is one of Brighton’s star playersKnockaert signed a new four-year deal in 2017 after helping Brighton win promotion to the Premier League. He has helped preserve their top-flight status over the past two seasons.Starting 18 games in the 2018/19 campaign, the winger chipped in with six assists in a side which struggled for goals. He brings that extra quality that Brighton will need if they are to avoid another relegation battle.
Burnley – Tom Heaton

21Tom Heaton won his No.1 spot back from Joe HartHeatons deal expires next year and it would be a shock if he wasnt offered a new one. The 33-year-old dislodged Joe Hart as Sean Dyches No.1 in December, and subsequently, Burnley climbed out of the relegation zone and finished the season in 15th place. He is a leader for Burnley.
Cardiff City – Bruno Manga

Last month, Cardiff boss Neil Warnock said he wanted to keep Manga, whose contract expires this summer. He showed his versatility this season, too, playing as a centre-half and makeshift right-back.
Chelsea – Ruben Loftus-Cheek

21Ruben Loftus-Cheek has scored ten goals this season for ChelseaLoftus-Cheek has enjoyed a breakthrough season at Stamford Bridge, scoring ten goals and registering five assists. Initially, he struggled to get into Maurizio Sarris side, but has proven himself in the second half of the season, particularly in the Europa League.His four goals have helped the Blues to the final where they will play Arsenal.His contract expires next year with the midfielder reportedly wanting assurances of his playing time, while the process has also been complicated by his injury in the club’s post-season friendly with New England Revolution.
Crystal Palace – Luka Milivojevic

The Eagles skipper has just one year left on his deal.
Everton – Morgan Schneiderlin

21Morgan Schneiderlin has been booed by the Goodison Park faithful in the pastSchneiderlin was failing to make Marco Silvas matchday squads in the first half of the season. But since February, he established himself as a regular in the Everton midfield, edging out Barcelona loanee Andre Gomes. With the Toffees likely to lose Idrissa Gueye, who has been linked with Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, and Gomes rumoured to be joining Tottenham, Schneiderlin could have a big role to play next season.
Fulham – Tim Ream

Huddersfield Town – Christopher Schindler

Leicester – James Maddison

Liverpool – Joel Matip

21Joel Matip has been a rock at the back for LiverpoolMatip has superbly stepped up to partner Virgil van Dijk in the absence of Joe Gomez and Dejan Lovren. He has featured in five of Liverpools six Champions League knockout games and is likely to keep his place when Liverpool take on Tottenham in the final on June 1. With his contract expiring next year, the defender has surely done enough to extend his stay at Anfield.
Manchester City – Vincent Kompany

LUCAS TORREIRA has been vital for the Gunners in recent weeks, but Paul Merson hasn't been as blown away as everyone else.
