Matt Ritchie
35-Year-Old
Portsmouth
The Championship
Done at Newcastle
Ritchie will leave Newcastle following the expiration of his contract.
ANALYSIS
This isn't too surprising for Ritchie, who at 34 years old doesn't offer Premier League-level football. While he's been relegated to the bench the last few years, he was a vital player early in his contract, racking up 187 appearances for the club since 2016. Ritchie's days of playing in the top league after over, but he may try and sign a short contract in a lesser league.

ANALYSIS
Newcastle's boss Eddie Howe has given green light for the departure of the 33-year-old winger, who hasn't been much of a factor this season for the Magpies. Several Premier League and Championship sides should be keen on his services, though.
