Ambitious

“I’m very happy to be part of this club,” said Depoitre.

“The transfer has been done quickly and I hope we do great things.

“I’ve always dreamed of playing in the Premier League, so when Huddersfield came I thought it was the ideal club.

“It’s a new challenge for me as well as Huddersfield, so I look forward to playing.

“The head coach explained to me his way of playing and the mentality he wants – I think I can be useful to his way of playing.

“I’m a target man, a hard worker, I can keep the ball and I’m strong in the air. I fit the profile of English football.

“In every club I’ve gone to, the fans like my work. I fight for every ball, I don’t like to lose it, so if I do I always fight to get it back.

“I look forward to playing against the best defenders; it will be a great experience.”

A scorer at international level, Depoitre also has Champions League experience and is a winner of the Belgian Pro League and Super Cup.

“I am very happy that we have made Laurent our first signing of this summer window,” said Town head coach David Wagner.

“He is a proper striker, one who has played for a very good Belgium side, featured in elite European competition and who has won domestic titles.

“It is great news that we have had the opportunity to sign a player of his quality and now we will focus on getting him back to the top form he showed only a season ago.

“He scores goals and is a real worker too, so he will fit the ‘Terriers Identity’ very well. His attitude on the pitch is exactly what we need, plus he is a very good character off the field too.”
