Ruben Selles still hopes for two more new signings before the transfer window closes a week tomorrow as he looks to build on a stunning 3-0 success at Sheffield United on Friday night.

A host of City's new arrivals played their part at Bramall Lane, with Matt Crooks scoring his first goal on his full debut, while Kyle Joseph delivered a hard-working performance up front. Eliot Matazo came off the bench early in the second half in place of Crooks and impressed with a tenacious display.

Joe Gelhardt showed a different side to his game, battling hard and having a hand in the opening goal, with Selles pleased about the impact of the new arrivals.

New signing Lincoln wasn't involved at Bramall Lane after only having a couple of training sessions following his loan move from Fenerbahce, but is expected to be in the squad against Stoke City on Saturday in a crunch must-win MKM Stadium meeting.

City remain desperate to add a left-back to their squad after sanctioning the departure of Ryan Giles to Middlesbrough. Although Sean McLoughlin has impressed in that position and Matty Jacob came on and scored in Sheffield, Selles wants extra cover in that area. They remain positive about the chances of signing Charlie Taylor from Southampton.

Further forward, Louie Barry remains a target as does Sorba Thomas. City still hope to sign Thomas and it's understood that he could be left out of the Nantes squad to face Lyon on Sunday afternoon with progress having been made with the French club in the past 48 hours. Selles remains hopeful those two deals can be finalised.

"I'm still expecting a couple of things, as we have discussed," Selles told Hull Live. "I think we still need to finish the project that we wanted to do, and that means trying to find an extra body in the front that can make the difference for us."

After a month of intense speculation, lots of business and even more questions from the media, Selles says he'll be pleased when the window does eventually shut at 11pm next Monday evening and he can focus on the players at his disposal.

"I will be glad if we've got everything that we want when the window is closed," the Spaniard said. "I think the club is making a good effort. Jared and his team are working really hard to get the players and the profiles that we want and I think that we are going in the correct direction. It's going to be different (when the window is closed), but when the window is closed, you can fully focus on the games."
