Huddersfield Town set to win race with Sunderland to sign Jack Rudoni - also linked with Bristol City, Luton and Blackpool

HUDDERSFIELD TOWN are closing in on the signing of in-demand AFC Wimbledon midfield playmaker Jack Rudoni.

The 21-year-old has been a target of Town during the close season and reports in the capital say that a fee has now been agreed between the two clubs with the player set to sign a four-year deal and due to undergo a medical.

Rudoni has been linked with several rival Championship clubs including Sunderland, Bristol City, Luton Town and Blackpool, but Town are now destined to win the race to sign the Surrey-born player.

Rudoni was the subject of failed £500,000 bids from Town and Sunderland last month, but the former have now struck a deal to bring the player to West Yorkshire. It is reportedly worth an initial £600,000 - rising to £1m with add-on clauses

The schemer was one of the shining lights in the Dons' 2021-22 campaign, which ended in relegation to League One.

He scored 12 goals and registered five assists from midfield and marked himself out as one of the best young midfielders in the lower leagues.

So far in the summer, Town - who saw Carlos Corberan leave the club in a shock development last week - have brought in three new players in the shape of former MK Dons midfielder David Kasumu, winger Connor Mahoney and central defender Will Boyle.
