Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has revealed that he is close to finalising deals for two new arrivals.
The Cherries are not expecting too much movement on the transfer front, despite readying themselves to take a step up in class.
Howe guided his troops to a second-place finish in League One last season and will be looking to cement them within the Championship ranks next term.
He is, however, prepared to keep faith with those who have impressed in recent years.
Ian Harte and Elliott Ward have been drafted in to add valuable experience to the defensive ranks, but Howe will not be making too many more additions.
He told the Daily Echo: "You just don't know what is going to happen in football.
"You can say you are close to finishing but you never know what is around the corner. I don't envisage too many more - maybe one, a maximum of two."
On the backing he has received in his efforts to bolster Bournemouth's ranks, Howe added: "Whenever you sign a player, you are grateful to the people above to make it happen and Maxim Demin, Eddie Mitchell and the board have all been supportive of us.
"With the financial fair play rules and restrictions in place, it has been difficult to manoeuvre and there have been a few hurdles to overcome to enable it to happen so we are very appreciative."
The midfielder has agreed a two-year contract after the two clubs settled on a compensation package.
Morsy was a free agent after turning down the offer of a new deal but the Burslem club were entitled to a fee for the former Wolves trainee as he is under the age of 24.
"He's a very tenacious central midfielder who can handle the ball and drive forward," said Chesterfield boss Paul Cook. "He's got that little bit of devilment in him that we'll need to curb at times but good players have that.
"He's a good age and he comes in with a desire to get better. When we found out that he may be available, we moved heaven and earth to get him here."
Morsy, 21, admitted Cook was a key factor in his decision to move to the Proact Stadium.
"I know the ambition of the club and I want to be a part of it," he said. "I've known the manager for a number of years and I know his philosophy. That was a big factor in my decision to sign."
Morsy, who spent nine years in the Wolves academy before being released as a 16-year-old, initially joined Vale's youth set-up before being handed a professional contract in 2010.
He made 32 appearances last season, helping Micky Adams' side win promotion to League One. In total, he scored four goals in 78 appearances during his spell at Vale Park.
The Reds have been working hard to identifying targets they feel will aid their quest to push for promotion to the Premier League in 2013/14.
A lack of creativity in wide areas has been an issue at the City Ground for some time, and that is an area Billy Davies intends to address.
Paterson is considered to tick all of the boxes Forest are after.
He is only 21 years of age, so still has plenty more to offer, but proved in 2012/13 that he is capable of terrorising Football League defences.
He plundered 13 goals in all competitions last season and was an ever-present for Walsall as they narrowly missed out on a play-off spot in League One.
Forest are hoping they can be the ones to benefit from Paterson's undoubted potential and, Sky sources understand, will now open discussions regarding personal terms with the highly-rated winger.
