    Football: Rondon, Shaqiri and other relegated stars on the move

    Football: Rondon, Shaqiri and other relegated stars on the move

    What's the story

    Stoke City, Swansea and West Brom didn't do enough last season, which saw these clubs being relegated from the Premier League.

    The three clubs have some quality players in their ranks, who would not prefer to play in the Championship and could be on the move this summer.

    Here are the top players that other clubs can acquire.

    Rock at the back

    West Brom centre-back Jonny Evans

    In the past, Jonny Evans was being linked with moves to top clubs. However, these days, he hasn't been performing at his best level.

    Still, the 30-year-old would be a quality centre-back for any top side in the Premier League.

    Evans had the best pass-rate for West Brom last season, with 81% to his name.

    Further, he won 51% of all his duels.

    Aerial threat

    West Brom striker Salomon Rondon

    Venezuelan striker Salomon Rondon has had three good seasons with West Brom.

    One of the strongest centre forwards in the world right now, the 28-year-old is the architect of his team's attack.

    Rondon is also the key to holding play upfront.

    He won 162 aerial duels, last season, the fourth-highest figure in the league.

    Man with the tricks

    Stoke City forward Xherdan Shaqiri

    Xherdan Shaqiri has been one of the most underrated players in the Premier League, ever since his switch from Bayern Munich.

    He is quick and agile and his trickery can cause problems to any defense in the world.

    The Swiss international scored 8 goals and created 75 chances for the Potters last season.

    Master of saves

    Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland

    There is a huge demand for goal-keepers in the Premier League.

    The likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are in the hunt for a man who puts in some quality saves.

    England international Jack Butland could be on the radar of these clubs.

    The 25-year-old finished last season with 142 saves, which is more than any other keeper in the league.

    Dribble king

    Swansea forward Jordan Ayew

    Ghana international Jordan Ayew has taken time to settle in the Premier League.

    But, at 26, he is still young and has a lot of scope for development.

    Swansea's top scorer from last season, Jordan has some flair on the flanks.

    He completed 24 dribbles, the ninth-highest figure in the division last season.

    He can be a good buy for several EPL clubs.
