The season is just under a week a way and there is a lot to be discovered about just how Bolton Wanderers will play. Recruitment is still ongoing but one of the most complete areas is the defence.

Incomings: Akin Famewo, Ben Davies, Luca Stephenson and Gaizka Larrazabal.
Departures: George Johnston and Jordi Osei-Tutu.
