Some Hull City supporters have taken to Twitter to comment on the confirmation of striker Fraizer Campbell joining Championship rivals Huddersfield Town on a free transfer.

Campbell left Hull at the end of his contract in the summer. The Tigers seemingly wanted to retain him, but his former wages and the club’s financial situation meant a deal couldn’t be reached.

The former Sunderland man was among Hull’s best performers last season. He netted 12 goals and grabbed six assists, helping the club push for an unlikely playoff spot after being previously tipped to struggle.

Huddersfield will be hoping he can repeat that sort of form for the Terriers. Hull supporters, meanwhile, feel their league rivals have picked up a top signing as they took to Twitter to comment.

Huddersfield haven’t started the season well following their relegation from the Premier League. They lost the opening game of the season 2-1 at home to Derby County, before drawing 1-1 at Queens Park Rangers.

There is a lot of talent in Huddersfield’s squad, but their biggest weakness shown so far is the quality and cutting edge in the final third as in both games they struggled to make their possession count.

Campbell has a knack for scoring goals and Huddersfield manager Jan Siewert now must find a solution to accommodate him in the team alongside the likes of Karlan Grant, Alex Pritchard and Elias Kachunga.

Hull, on the other hand, will be hoping goals from Jarrod Bowen and Kamil Grosicki will help make up for Campbell’s departure otherwise the Humberside club could be in for a struggle this season.
