We are fast approaching the business end of the 2022/23 Gallagher Premiership season, and transfer rumours are speculating around these England stars who may be departing their clubs this Summer.
Each of these players have not yet confirmed their futures at their current clubs, and have had plenty of interest from rival sides and those from overseas.
Here are five England stars who have not yet confirmed their futures in the Premiership.
Jack Nowell – Exeter Chiefs
There is speculation that Jack Nowell is to become the latest departure from Sandy Park, as the mass player exodus is causing shockwaves across Devon. With the Chiefs in a financially difficult position with the latest enforced salary cap, they have been forced to welcome bidding offers for their top stars.
Five first team stars are already expected to leave, with Luke Cowan-Dickie, Harry Williams and Sam Simmonds all set for Montpellier in France’s Top 14, whilst Dave Ewers makes a move to Ulster, and Joe Simmonds heads to Pau. Nowell has spoken publicly about his intentions to stay, and would prefer a move to Japan or France, over another Premiership club.
Speaking to the Telegraph, Nowell said:
“I want to stay at Exeter, but I’m out of contract, there’s stuff going on with the salary cap and I’ve got a growing family. And I’ll be 30 after the World Cup. I’m in talks with the club at the moment; ideally I’d stay but I’m not too sure what’s going on. The first thing for me is my family.
“My only option if I’m in England is to stay (at Exeter Chiefs). France, Japan… I went out to Japan for the World Cup, it was an amazing country. I’d like to give Japan a go over France but, obviously, anything could happen.”
