Huddersfield breaks record again, signs Benin striker

Huddersfield have signed Montpellier forward Steve Mounie for an undisclosed club record clause, which is widely reported to be around £11.5million.

The 22-year-old Benin international, who has dual French nationality, netted 14 goals in Ligue 1 last season.

Town boss David Wagner told the club’s official website: “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 him a very attractive proposition as a young striker.”

The player added: “I’m really excited to play at the John Smith’s Stadium.”
