DONE DEAL: Huddersfield complete deal for Charlton striker Grant

Huddersfield Town have completed the signing of Karlan Grant from Charlton Athletic.

The 21-year-old has signed a contract until 2022 after the clubs agreed on an undisclosed fee.

Manager Jan Siewart had this to say on the transfer: "As I do, this Club believes in talented young players and Karlan certainly fits that description. He's a player I'm delighted to have the chance to work with.

"Our recruitment team has put a lot of work into bringing Karlan here. Importantly, he is a natural goal-scorer; he has that knack of knowing which movement to make and finishing chances.

"He offers us something different to our current options in that he always tries to play on the shoulder of the final defender, looking to run in behind. He's an athletic, pacey player and will really fit our playing style.

"He's only 21 and he will improve here, for sure; he's an exciting English talent, for sure. He can play a big part in this Club's present and future."
