Bolton boss expecting frantic end to transfer window as Trotters close in on £12 million goalkeeper

Bolton Wanderers head coach Steven Schumacher is keen to add at least three more players to his squad ahead of Tuesday's transfer deadline.

Championship

The Trotters have already sealed the signings of 10 players during what has been a hectic summer for the recently promoted side.

Schumacher led Wanderers back into the Championship in May courtesy of a 4-1 play-off final victory over Stockport County.

A significant summer of change has reaped its rewards early season with the side currently perched inside the top eight, having picked up four points from their opening two Championship fixtures.

Southampton goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu is reportedly on the verge of becoming their latest acquisition after an agreement was struck with the south coast club over the last 24 hours.

However, that won't signal the end of the transfer activity at the Toughsheet Community Stadium with Schumacher revealing his desire to further enhance his squad in the coming days.

"We are not done, we've got probably three to go," Schumacher said at his pre-match press conference on Friday.

"It sounds a lot but it's important for us that we get a squad that is really capable of competing at this level.

"We are probably still three away from where we really want to be."

The Bolton boss's revelation comes just two days after the club announced a deal to sign Canada international Jaydon Nelson.

The lively 23-year-old winger put pen-to-paper on a four-year deal with the club after agreeing terms on a move from MLS side Austin FC.
