The list of favourites to join Huddersfield Town in January features stars familiar with fans of Newcastle United, Leicester City, Sheffield Wednesday and more.
There will be another window in less than a month, during which transfers will be permitted. Struggling teams usually find the window more alluring, and Huddersfield’s standing in the Championship table would indicate they might be interested in bringing in more players.
But the January window can be difficult to navigate, and players are frequently only offered at exorbitant prices. Since the Terriers are not the richest people in the division, they will need to exercise caution in all of their business dealings.
With the window approaching, here are the favourites to join Huddersfield in January as per Sports Lens.
Matt Ritchie – 4/1
The 34-year-old would arguably be a coup for the vast majority of Championship sides. A savvy operator capable of playing in multiple positions, Ritchie has slipped down the pecking order at Newcastle United.
Josh Onomah – 6/1
An undeniably talented midfielder, Onomah’s career has stalled and he has been a free agent since his departure from Preston North End. A trial at Stoke City in the summer failed to lead to a contract offer, meaning the Tottenham Hotspur academy graduate is still available to be snapped up for free.
Tariqe Fosu – 8/1
A versatile attacker with Championship experience, Fosu was released by Brentford in the summer. He ended last season loan at Rotherham United, although a permanent move to the Millers never materialised.
Marc Albrighton – 8/1
Albrighton is one of the only members of Leicester City’s Premier League title-winning squad still contracted to the Foxes. His importance to the club has lessened in recent years and the offer of regular football elsewhere may prove tempting.
Anwar El-Ghazi – 9/1
A winger with Premier League experience, El-Ghazi has been a free agent since Mainz terminated his contract for a social media post about the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Matty Longstaff – 12/1
The brother of Newcastle star Sean, he has been a free agent since the Magpies deemed him surplus to requirements and released him in the summer. The 23-year-old has spent time on loan in the EFL with Mansfield Town and Colchester United.
