Wycombe Wanderers manager Matt Bloomfield has revealed the club are ‘very close’ to signing more players ahead of the new season.

This comes after the Chairboys confirmed the acquisition of Richard Keogh at the start of the week following the centre back’s departure from Ipswich Town.

And with the 23/24 campaign starting in less than a month’s time, the 39-year-old is feeling confident that several new faces will be walking through the doors at Adams Park.

But he did state that whilst conversations are ongoing, he didn’t ‘want to get ahead of themselves in case anything changes.’

This happened to the club 12 months ago when Wycombe were on the verge of signing goalkeeper Nathan Bishop on loan from Manchester United.

The shot-stopper had trained with the Chairboys and was due to be unveiled as their number one for the 2022/23 season following David Stockdale's departure to Sheffield Wednesday.

However, the Premier League side opted to pull out the transfer just days before the campaign began.

When asked if more players will be joining the club, he told the Free Press: “We hope so and we’re very close to a few.

“We’ve got some agreements going on in the background and we’re just waiting for those to land.

“It’s been an enjoyable experience this summer in trying to get things done.

“And I do think there is a really fine line and balance between getting your business done early but not panicking into the wrong deals.

“We’re trying to be as calculated as we possibly can by trying to use the budget as wisely as we can.

“It’s really important for a club our size to think about every pound we spend and every signing we make.”

In terms of the positions he aims to strengthen, the manager added: “We only want to make signings which we truly believe they’re going to make us better.

“With Jordan Obita leaving, we need to try and pay some attention to the left-hand side.

“The midfield areas we’re also looking at with Nick Freeman, Dom Gape and Curtis Thompson as I do believe that is a place we need to strengthen.

“I do believe that we’ve had a very specific aim for the summer and we’re hoping that aim will be fulfilled in the not to distance future.”

Wycombe will kick-off their pre-season with a friendly away at Hanwell Town on July 14.
