Huddersfield Town, who made their way back into the top flight for the first time since 1972, have started their season in gallant fashion, having beaten Crystal Palace and Newcastle United in consecutive matches. They have scored four goals so far and are yet to concede a goal in the season so far and are looking forward to continuing in the same way in the forthcoming matches as well.
The manager of the Terriers, David Wagner has been happy with the outcome of the first two matches in his debut season as the in charge of a Premier League side but is also looking to keep his players away from getting complacent. He is also looking to bring in a few more players in the last few days of the ongoing summer transfer market, especially to stabilise his defence.
The German tactician is eyeing a new player for the right back position in the form of Mickael Alphonse from the French Ligue 2 club Sochaux. Despite the fact that his present right back Tommy Smith, who is also the team captain, is performing as per excellence, the Huddersfield gaffer is making sure that there is another quality player at his disposal in the following days of the season.
Wagner is well aware of the fact that they have not yet faced any of the big names clubs in the Premier League this season yet and his team must be prepared to face some of the top quality players in English as well as European football. the inclusion of a player like the French youngster might give his side the much-needed impetus to fight hard and stay back in the top flight for the next season as well.
The 28-year-old has certainly been a prized possession for his team in the current scenario, having played a very important role in the team, which has attracted the attention of a number of clubs from the French Ligue 1 as well as the Championship and the Premier League. The Terriers, however, are looking to lead the race to bag the player and might make a bid for the right back in the next few days.
The Frenchman, who was awarded the best right back in League 2 after the end of the campaign in the last season, is known for his pace and his ability to make darting runs down the flanks and get important crosses into the attacking third, providing opportunities for his teammates to score goals and keep his side in the advantage. Undoubtedly, it will be difficult for the Terriers to make Sochaux part their ways with the defender this summer.
