Experienced centre back, Chey Dunkley, and talented teenager, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, are thought to have penned two and three-year deals respectively in South Yorkshire after leaving Wigan Athletic and Manchester City, and Monk is delighted to have them both on board.
He told the club’s official website, “With Fisayo I think, what I have spoken about in the past, he is young, hungry and got a lot of potential. The fact that we’ve managed to sign him from Manchester City and obviously the calibre of that club and the young players they bring through.

“Going along with a couple of our other young players that we think have big potential, we are trying to recruit that as a profile. He comes in and I think everyone should be excited by that.
“If he can adjust and make that step up – and I wouldn’t have brought him here if I didn’t think he can do that – then we have a few young players here that can be a big part of our future.”
Meanwhile, regarding Dunkley, he said, “With Dunkley, he’s played over 300 games and is a very experienced lad… Again, delighted to have him with us. The big thing was his desire to come here, be part of it here and help us achieve our aims and get onto the path we want to take.

Both players were at Middlewood Road yesterday for the start of preseason.
