The 20 Premier League clubs that took part in the 2020/21 season have submitted lists of players they will be retaining in their squads, and ones they will be releasing.

All clubs must submit their respective lists by June 23.

It is worth noting that player contracts typically will run until June 30, and therefore players who are soon to be out of contract are still on the 'retained' list at the time of publishing.

Next on the list is Aston Villa, who enjoyed a successful season under manager Dean Smith.

After narrowly avoiding relegation on their return to the Premier League, Villa secured an 11th-placed-finish in 2020/21 with Jack Grealish and Oli Watkins, in particular, enjoying productive seasons.
