New West Bromwich Albion chief executive Mark Miles expects a "change-around of the squad" prior to the start of the Championship season on 5 August.
The £7m sale of skipper Dara O'Shea to Burnley has loosened the purse strings for Albion head coach Carlos Corberan, who is yet to make a summer signing.
"Clearly everyone can see that to be competitive next season we do need a change around of the squad," he said.
"That will involve players going out as well as players coming in."
Since missing out on the Championship play-offs in May by just four points, despite a frustrating season encapsulated by protesting fans, Albion have already lost four players.
