Caleb Okoli - £13m from Atalanta
Michael Golding - £5m from Chelsea
Bobby De Cordova-Reid - free transfer from Fulham
Facundo Buonanotte - on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion
Asked before the Skipp deal was confirmed if there was more money to spend, Cooper said: “Yeah for sure. I think it’s important that we spend wisely. We all agree on what’s needed and what we’d like to do but then you balance off whether one (deal) might stop another.
“But that’s just normal transfer window work really. We’re no different to anyone else. But we want to get some players over the line. We’re working towards that and hopefully we can have a bit more luck.”
