'Two defenders to be signed by weekend' - Selles

Sheffield United boss Ruben Selles said the club will likely bring in two defenders ahead of their Championship fixture against Millwall on Saturday.

The Blades have been heavily linked with Atalanta's Ben Godfrey and Millwall's Japhet Tanganga, who have Premier League experience with Everton and Tottenham Hotspur respectively.

Selles is keen to get any new signings involved as soon as possible. "There is a chance for them to be involved at the weekend," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.

He also did not rule out other additions to the Blades squad.

"We have eleven first-team players from last season who left the club. We replaced them with three loans and players who still need some time to be able to perform for Sheffield United. So realistically, we still need some more players in," he said.

Ahead of the Millwall game, Selles wants his players to sharpen up as they attempt to win their first league game of the season, after defeats by Bristol City and Swansea City.

"Our discipline when we lost the ball was not ideal, so we were punished. We need to be more robust in our defensive transition."

Of the fans, Selles said: "We need them more than ever.

"Go on Saturday, support the team and support the boys. It's not going to be easy. It's not going to be simple, but they're going to see a team that is 100% giving itself a good chance to win the game."
