Bolton Wanderers manager Steven Schumacher has confirmed the club is still working on transfer targets ahead of the Championship season. With less than a month until their opener against Preston North End, the Whites have made five signings but remain light in several positions.

What did Schumacher say about transfers?

Schumacher admitted more additions are needed, stating: "Hopefully, yes. The new lads have settled in well, but we still need reinforcements in a lot of areas." He emphasized that incoming players must adapt quickly, as tactical adjustments will take time.

Why is the transfer window slow?

The head coach suggested the delayed movement is partly due to the World Cup and Premier League clubs holding onto young players for pre-season tours. He expects activity to increase as the season approaches.

What’s next for Bolton Wanderers?

Bolton finished fifth in League One last season with 75 points (19W-18D-9L), scoring 70 goals and conceding 52. With 28 points behind leaders Lincoln, they aim to strengthen before the Championship campaign begins.
