Bolton Wanderers manager Steven Schumacher admits his squad rebuild is far from finished, revealing the club still need to bring in at least five more signings ahead of their return to the Championship, according to BBC News.
The Trotters are back in English football's second tier after their promotion last season, but Schumacher is under no illusions about the scale of the task facing him as he prepares his side for a step up in quality and physicality.
While the report doesn't detail specific targets or positions, Schumacher's comments make clear that Bolton's summer business is very much a work in progress, with reinforcements needed across the squad before the new campaign gets under way.
With pre-season already under way, time is ticking for Schumacher and the club's recruitment team to identify and land the players required to give Bolton a fighting chance of competing in the Championship this term.
