Huddersfield have signed striker Steve Mounie from Monterpellier for a club record fee.

The Benin International, 22, who scored fourteen goals in 32 games has signed a four year deal.

The fee, reported to be £11.5m, breaks Huddersfield’s previous record – the £3.5m paid for Porto striker  Laurent Deportie in June 2017.

Huddersfield manager David Wagner described Mounie as a perfect signing who suits to be at the top level.

“I’m delighted that we could sign Steve ahead of the start of pre-season training.

“He has a very exciting combination of attributes that makes his a very attractive proposition as a young striker.

“He has real physical attributes that should be perfect for the Premier League.

Mounie has been capped seven times by Benin, but does not require a work permit as he has dual French nationality.
