Premier League strugglers West Bromwich Albion are reportedly preparing for life without a number of key players should they drop into the second tier.
The Baggies have been cut eight points adrift of safety at the foot of the table following Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Watford, extending their losing run to five matches.
With relegation to the Championship now looking almost certain, The Sun reports that Albion are bracing themselves for a mass exodus in the summer.
Captain Jonny Evans will be allowed to move on, with Manchester City and Arsenal both showing an interest in January, while Ben Foster, Craig Dawson and Jay Rodriguez are also wanted by top-flight clubs.
The report suggests that Burnley, Everton and Crystal Palace are all ready to pounce for Dawson, and Stoke City will attempt to snare Rodriguez should they avoid the drop.
