Huddersfield Town tie up permanent capture of exciting striker Elias Kachunga

The FC Ingolstadt forward has enjoyed an outstanding season-long loan at Town after joining last summer from the German outfit and has now committed his long-term future to the club - signing a deal until 2020.

Kachunga, who has fired 11 goals for Town this season and impressed all and sundry with his work ethic and forward prowess, has this week linked up with the DR Congo squad following his first international call-up for the African nation - and he is set to make his debut against Kenya in Nairobi on Sunday.

Kachunga, who turns 25 next month, has previously played for Germany's under-21 side.

Hailing the news, head coach David Wagner said: "I said in the summer that this move was perfect for the club and the player, as the loan gave everyone the chance to see how Elias would adapt to English football. I think it’s now correct to say he has adapted well!

"His style of play suits the English style perfectly. He has shown that he has learned from some early experiences in his career to become a better player.

"It’s more remarkable that he came to us as a competitor at number nine, but has made the place on the right of midfield his own through his performances."
