Following Swansea<\/a>‘s 4-2 victory over Reading<\/a> at Wembley in the Championship play-off final, the Premier League<\/a> now know which three clubs will be looking to gatecrash the top table of English football next season.<\/p>\n

However, Brendan Rodgers’ side, as well as QPR and Norwich, will know that the work to avoid an immediate return to the second-tier must start now, as all three clubs attempt to bolster their squads. With the Bosman ruling allowing players out of contract to leave without a transfer fee, there are certainly some bargains to be had.<\/p>\n

Swansea boss Rodgers has already confirmed that his side will need to invest in the summer, QPR look set to spend on their return to the top-flight, while Norwich boss Paul Lambert has already snapped up James Vaughan from Everton.<\/p>\n

But for the new boys, it is experience, not exuberance, that will keep them afloat next season and Goal.com<\/strong> have picked seven of the best free-transfers available to those looking to add those who have been there and done it all before.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
LEE BOWYER | Leeds United, West Ham, Birmingham City
<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
JOHN CAREW | Aston Villa, Stoke City
<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
JOHN PANTSIL | West Ham, Fulham
<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
SEB LARSSON | Arsenal, Birmingham City
<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
EIDUR GUDJOHNSEN | Chelsea, Tottenham, Stoke City, Fulham
<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
BOLO ZENDEN | Chelsea, Middlesbrough, Liverpool, Sunderland
<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
SOL CAMPBELL | Tottenham, Arsenal, Portsmouth, Newcastle United
<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nIn addition to this shortlist of seven, there are a number of other players with bagfuls of Premier League experience that could prove invaluable to any of the promoted clubs.<\/p>\n

They include:
Ricardo Gardner
Andy Reid
Abdoulaye Meite
Abdoulaye Faye
Michael Brown
Richard Kingson
Anthony Gardner
Richard Hughes
Diomansy Kamara
Jlloyd Samuel<\/strong><\/p>\n

With hundreds of top-flight appearances between them, it is unlikely that any of these players will go unnoticed once their contracts finally expire.
