Gareth Ainsworth on Wycombe's transfer plans for 2021/22

The Chairboys will be in League One for the 2021/22 campaign, and so far this summer, they have already seen the likes of Ryan Allsop, Cameron Yates, Darius Charles, Giles Phillips and Andron Georgiou leave following the expiration of their contracts. 

Other players such as Fred Onyedinma and Alex Pattison have joined Luton Town and Harrogate Town respectively, whilst Josh Knight, Admiral Muskwe and Dennis Adeniran have also return to their parent clubs in Leicester City and Everton, following their loan spells.

Nnamdi Ofoborh, who joined on loan in January from Bournemouth, has also left the club, as he has signed for the Scottish champions in Rangers.

He signed a pre-contract agreement with Steven Gerrard’s men at the start of the year.

Following the departures, Ainsworth said: “My message to the fans would be ‘don’t panic’ – it’s still very early days.

“Historically I think we’ve signed some of our best players right at the end of a transfer window, and it might not be any different this season.

“I could start the new season tomorrow and know we’d be comfortable with what we’ve got, but I still want to add more real quality to the squad.

“This time of year is always quite slow.

“I could sign three or four players now that I know I could get, but there are other players who might be better options for us, who are waiting around to see what else comes up.

“We’re not necessarily looking for the free transfers and the ones who’ve been told they’re not good enough elsewhere; we’re looking at some players who are under contract elsewhere and wanted by other clubs.

“We know we’re competing for players with some big clubs but I’m hopeful we can bring our targets in.

“We don’t need many because of the new squad cap rules which limit how many players teams can have.”

The 48-year-old is also looking forward for a ‘rocking’ Adams Park, as preparations for the new season continue.

Last season, Wanderers fans were only able to see their team twice at the stadium, with both matches being losses in December.

These were in the 1-0 defeat against Stoke City on December 2, and the 2-1 loss to Coventry City on December 12, in which the Chairboys had an injury-time equaliser by Scott Kashket, incorrectly ruled out for offside.

And with a year of Championship experience under their belt, Ainsworth is looking forward to the season ahead.

He continued: “I’m really looking forward to next season, mainly because the fans are coming back.

“I can’t wait to welcome them back here.

“Once those fans walk through the door on the first league game of the season, I want to get that place rocking.

“I want to deliver Championship football again to all those people who’ve supported us through League Two, League One and nearly the non-leagues.

“I’m going to work so hard to make that happen.

“We’ve got great staff, a great squad, and most importantly, great fans.”
