Notts County have signed Ishe Samuels-Smith and Hindolo Mustapha on season-long loan deals.

Samuels-Smith, 20, joins from Chelsea and can play different roles on the left side of defence, while Mustapha joins from Crystal Palace after cutting short a loan spell with Wigan Athletic.

The 20-year-old attacking midfielder has been capped by Sierra Leone at international level. Samuels-Smith has represented England at Under-20 level.

The pair move to the Magpies as they embark on their first season back in League One since 2014-15.

Montague added Mustapha was one of the club's "top targets this summer".
