Which Wales players could move this summer?

Ben Davies has not played since January due to an ankle injury

The big question mark when it comes to Wales' frontline defenders is alongside the name of Tottenham stalwart Davies.

The 33-year-old has made more than 350 appearances for Spurs since joining from Swansea City 12 years ago, but how many more are there to come?

Last summer, Tottenham triggered a one-year extension in Davies' contract to keep him at the club for the 2025-26 campaign, but there is no word on yet on whether there will be a new deal on the table this time around.

There has been talk of Davies becoming a player-coach, or even switching his focus at some point to a role which is in football, but away from the pitch.

Certainly, Bellamy will be eager to discover to see what happens to one of the key figures in his squad.

As for Bellamy's other defenders, there could be question marks over Chris Mepham's future at West Brom.

Academy product Dylan Lawlor has thrived at senior level for Cardiff

Mepham joined the Baggies on a three-year deal last summer, but has not played since February.

While Mepham's absence was thanks in part to injury, the 28-year-old did not feature at the tail-end of the season despite boss James Morrison saying he was available.

Cardiff City's Dylan Lawlor, meanwhile, may well be the subject of transfer speculation this summer despite the Bluebirds' promotion to the Championship – and the fact that he signed a new deal running until 2028 last August.

Lawlor has been tipped by many to play at the highest level, so transfer interest during the close season would be no surprise.

Rhys Norrington-Davies is another Wales international defender whose club future may come into focus.

Norrington-Davies made 39 appearances while on loan from Sheffield United at Queens Park Rangers in 2025-26, but he is under contract with the Blades until 2027.

Jordan James was Leicester's top scorer in 2025-26

What next for Jordan James? The midfielder was the brightest spark in an awful year for Leicester City, where he cleaned up at the end-of-season awards.

Still only 21, James is due to return to French club Rennes following his year-long loan spell with the Foxes – but there are suggestions that another move to English football is likely.

James' contribution at Leicester suggests he would be an asset for any Championship club – while he may have earned a shot at the Premier League.

Ethan Ampadu is already shining at the highest level having enjoyed a fine season with Leeds, where he is under contract until the summer of 2027.

It has been reported that while the club have an option to extend the deal by 12 months, they are keen to tie Ampadu to a new longer-term deal to ward off any potential suitors.

There are other less prominent Wales players whose futures will also be on the agenda this summer, with Swansea City boss Vitor Matos revealing he will have a conversation with Ollie Cooper.

Kai Andrews, meanwhile, may not be expecting much of an opportunity at Coventry City next season following their promotion to the top division.

The teenager has spent the second half of 2025-26 on loan with Hibernian, but has struggled for regular game-time with the Scottish Premiership club.

Fellow youngster Charlie Crew, of Leeds, is another player who could be looking for another move after his season-long loan spell at Doncaster Rovers was cut short.

Harry Wilson joined Fulham in 2021

Should no new agreement with Fulham materialise, Wilson will be one of the most attractive options on the Premier League free-agent market this summer.

The 29-year-old has enjoyed a spectacular season, with goals coming regularly and often in memorable fashion.

Wilson told BBC Sport Wales last June that he was in discussions over a new Craven Cottage contract but, with nothing agreed, various clubs are being linked with his signature.

Another man who could be in demand is Sorba Thomas, who was named player of the year after his fine debut season at Stoke City.

Winger Thomas, 27, scored 10 goals in 46 appearances for a Potters side who fell away after a promising start to their Championship campaign and has been linked with a move to the Premier League.

When asked towards the end of the season whether he would still be a Stoke player next terms, Thomas set tongues wagging by declining to comment.

Of Wales' other attacking players, Lewis Koumas looks the most likely to be on the move again following loan spells at Birmingham City and Hull City in 2025-26, unless of course Liverpool decide the 20-year-old is ready for a first-team chance at Anfield.
