According to Belgian media outlet Voetbal Nieuws, Huddersfield Town are lining up a summer swoop for Club Brugge ace Anthony Limbombe, as David Wagner looks to add more quality to his wide midfield ranks at the John Smith’s Stadium.

The Terriers finished in a respectable 16th position in their debut campaign in the Premier League, but there is undoubtedly plenty of work to be done in terms of strengthening the squad this summer.

One particular area where the German will be looking to bolster is his midfield ranks, with more quality and pace needed in the wide midfield department.

Belgian publication Voetbal Nieuws claims that Wagner has identified Limbombe as the ideal summer signing.

The 23-year-old joined Brugge in the summer of 2016, and he has gone on to really impress for the Jupiler League outfit, racking up seven goals and 12 assists in 67 appearances in all competitions.

Limbombe is a natural wide left midfielder, but he can operate further up the pitch on either wing, and he would undoubtedly be an excellent addition to the Huddersfield side.

According to Transfer Markt, he is valued at £7 million, and in today’s day and age, that would represent decent value for the Terriers.
