The Premier League’s summer transfer window might have closed, but many big-name players still have uncertain futures. With other transfer windows still open, such as in Turkey, moves could still happen. The Athletic has compiled a starting XI of players out of favor at their top-flight side, with their futures unclear.
At Newcastle United, Odysseas Vlachodimos finds himself surplus to requirements under manager Eddie Howe. While Newcastle failed to find a loan deal for him before the deadline, he may become the No 2 goalkeeper if Martin Dubravka leaves in January.
Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell, once highly rated, now faces a bleak future at Stamford Bridge under manager Enzo Maresca. With Maresca preferring inverted full-backs, Chilwell has fallen out of favor and may need to seek a move in January to revive his career.
Kieran Tierney finds himself out of favor at Arsenal due to injuries and competition in his position. The 27-year-old could seek a move to another Premier League club in January to get more playing time.
Brighton’s Tariq Lamptey has struggled to regain his starting spot due to injuries and competition. However, a recent injury to Joel Veltman may provide him with an opportunity to impress under new head coach Fabian Hurzeler.
Overall, these players face uncertain futures at their respective clubs, with potential moves in January to revive their careers.
