Huddersfield sign Monaco defender Terence Kongolo
Huddersfield have broken their transfer record to bring Monaco defender Terence Kongolo back to the club.
The 24-year-old Holland international spent the second half of last season on loan with the Terriers.
He made 17 appearances across David Wagner's back line, playing a major role as Town retained their Premier League status.
And now Kongolo has returned to Huddersfield on a permanent basis, signing a four-year deal for an undisclosed club-record fee.
Huddersfield head coach David Wagner told the club's official website: "His signing is a big statement for this club.
"We knew he was a top, top player when we brought him in on loan in January; you don't play for the Netherlands in a World Cup and win the Dutch league with Feyenoord otherwise. However, his performances in our shirt exceeded our expectations.
"Terence gives us a fantastic option at centre-back and at left-back and the way that he defends on the front foot is perfect for our style.
"He is also at the start of his career as a 24-year-old and it's exciting for us to think he can still get better and better from the high level he's already at.
"We also know what a top, top character he is. He is a perfect fit for our changing room, as everyone has seen he has 'Terrier Spirit' in his DNA. This is exactly what we need in the players that we bring to this club."
