Huddersfield keen to make Nurnberg’s Abdelhamid Sabiri their tenth new signing of the summer.

Huddersfield Town have sent an enquiry to Nurnberg about the possibility of signing their highly rated playmaker Abdelhamid Sabiri, according to the Daily Mail.

The German Second Division club’s sporting director Andreas Bornemann confirmed that they had indeed had contact from the Terriers, but he also insisted Sabiri is not for sale.

However, the player himself is thought to have had his head turned by the speculation and wants to test himself in the Premier League.

The 20-year-old was left out of the squad for a recent friendly with Borussia Monchengladbach because he has become unsettled at the Stadion Nurnberg as a result.

Despite having already signed nine new players already this summer as he prepares Huddersfield for life in the English top flight for the first time since 1972, manager David Wagner views Sabiri as the missing creative spark that he needs.

The attacking midfielder was promoted from the youth academy midway through last season and made an instant impression with five goals in nine league games.
