The 168 players from Watford, Nottingham Forest, Stoke City, Middlesbrough and other Championship clubs who will be out of contract this summer

Middlesbrough are already assessing their transfer targets for next season – with manager Neil Warnock keen to address several key areas.

Boro’s main priority ahead of the next campaign is to sign a new striker, while the Teessiders will also be looking for a new first-choice goalkeeper and potentially a couple of wide players.

With finances tight throughout the EFL, clubs will be searching the free agent market, with several players set to see their current contracts expire in the coming months.

Boro also have five players, Britt Assombalonga, Ashley Fletcher, Marvin Johnson, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Jordan Archer, who are set to become free agents at the end of this season.

Other players such as Yannick Bolasie, Neeskens Kebano and Marcus Bettinelli are nearing the end of their loan deals.

We’ve taken a closer look at each club competing in the Championship for the 2020/21 season and the players whose futures remain uncertain.
