City have already added three new faces this month on top of the loan extensions of Huddersfield Town duo Lewis O’Brien and Jack Payne, but attacking reinforcements are still on Hopkin’s wishlist.

With cogs now turning towards the end of the window, the Bantams are hoping to have their business wrapped up before deadline day.

“We need to try and get a few deals done,” said Hopkin, whose side climbed to fourth-bottom of League One on Tuesday night with a 4-3 win over Shrewsbury.

“Hopefully, we can get one or two done Wednesday.

“We’ll be working tirelessly. I’ll probably be on my phone all night when I get home.

“We need to make sure we get some players in. We need to make players want to come here for the right reason.”
