Cardiff City need to have a positive summer as they prepare for their return to the Premier League.

The men from the South of Wales are back for the first time since the 2013/14 season and it'll certainly be interesting to see how they and Neil Warnock adapt to familiar but still different surroundings.

Certainly, the squad will feel as though it can give anyone a headache next year but they will need to dig deep at times and new players are going to be needed for the challenge.

With that in mind, then, we're taking a look at a potential XI for the side next season that could involve three signings we think would do well for the Bluebirds...

Etheridge was strong in the Championship, let's see how he deals with this biggest of step ups.

Craig Dawson could be a great signing at right-back. He's more than good enough for the top flight still.

Sean Morrison's dominance in the air will make him a force at both ends of the pitch next year.

Sol Bamba is going to be a different sort of challenge for many strikers next season.

Joe Bennett should remain at left-back.

You can see Paterson having a great time in the Premier League.

Gunnarsson is a player fans will want to see stay put now they've got promoted.

Besic knows the league and is a real scrapper. Warnock would warm to him if he signed.

Zohore will be relishing the chance to challenge some of the world's best.

According to the Daily Mail, Cardiff want Rondon.

Certainly, he'd bring extra power to an already strong side.

Hoilett was one of the stars of the season for the Bluebirds and should keep his spot.
