Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby is one of the big names leaving their club as the Premier League published the released list for the 2014-15 season on Wednesday.

Diaby is joined on the list by Aston Villa's Ron Vlaar, who the club are still trying to tie to a new deal, and Wes Brown, who is out of contract at Sunderland.

Chelsea are releasing the fewest players, with Didier Drogba the only man departing on a free this summer, while relegated Hull City are letting 13 players go, including Maynor Figueroa, Paul McShane and Yannick Sagbo.
