Mads Andersen and Marvelous Nakamba have both also joined the club from Barnsley and Aston Villa respectively.
Then Manchester City’s Issa Kabore has joined on loan, with Chiedozie Ogbene arriving for free from Rotherham.
Now, attentions have turned toward Ainsley Maitland-Niles who departed Arsenal after his contract expired in June.
