Huddersfield Town transfer news: Terriers ‘increasingly likely’ to sign Fulham star, Ben Brereton Diaz price tag ‘revealed’

Huddersfield Town will be eager to return to winning ways in time to face local rivals Hull City this weekend. The Terriers had picked up back-to-back wins in the Championship before suffering defeat to Luton Town on New Year’s Day.

The Tigers will be the third team from Yorkshire Town have taken on since the World Cup after narrowly losing to Sheffield United in December, before claiming an important three points over Rotherham United after Christmas. A win this weekend could see Mark Fotheringham’s side move out of the relegation zone, with The Millers currently sat two points ahead of them in 21st place. Meanwhile, Hull sit in 16th and could potentially move up to the top half of the table if they can continue their five-game unbeaten run.
