Scott Twine, who netted in a pre-season friendly against Rochdale at Gawthorpe, Luke McNally, Taylor Harwood-Bellis (loan) CJ Egan-Riley, Samuel Bastien and Josh Cullen have already signed up to the new regime.

And the club’s activity in the market isn’t showing any signs of letting up. Manchester City legend Kompany’s rebuild is ongoing and the four-time Premier League winner seems certain to add to his six new additions before the Championship opener at Huddersfield Town.

Here are the latest players doing the rounds on the rumour mill.

With Manchester City stopper Arijanet Muric's availability seemingly hitting a snag, the attention has returned to Plymouth Argyle's Player of the Season. The 22-year-old was inducted in the PFA League One Team of the Year last term and claimed a share of the Golden Glove award — alongside Wycombe Wanderers' David Stockdale — after keeping 18 clean sheets in the third tier. He has made 94 league appearances for the Pilgrims.
