Cardiff's defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday confirmed them as the final team to be relegated from the Premier League this season.
In truth, this year's bottom three have been quite poor, with Brighton needing only 35 points (five shy of the oft touted 40-point mark) to secure safety.
However, relegated clubs are often fertile hunting ground in the summer months for Premier League sides looking for value deals. Liverpool have been the kings of this tactic in recent years, landing Xherdan Shaqiri, Andy Robertson and Gini Wijnaldum after their clubs were demoted to the Championship.
