Huddersfield Town transfer news: Terriers ‘make approach’ for Chelsea youngster, Cardiff City ‘eye’ return for ex-boss

Huddersfield Town picked up their first point of the year as they played out a 1-1 draw with Hull City at the weekend. The Terriers looked set to claim an away victory thanks to Michal Helik’s first-half header, however Oscar Estupinan equalised in the dying seconds of the match.

However, Mark Fotheringham’s side have managed to climb further up the Championship table and now sit in 22nd place - three points below Cardiff City. Town will now take on Blackpool in a huge six-pointer next weekend, with the Seasiders sat below them on goal difference. The match could see them either move out of the bottom three or potentially push them down to last place.
