Huddersfield Town complete the signing of Montpellier HSC striker Steve Mounie on a four-year deal.

Huddersfield Town have completed the signing of Montpellier HSC striker Steve Mounie for a club-record fee.

On Tuesday, the newly-promoted Premier League side announced that Tom Ince, Kasey Palmer and Danny Williams had all agreed to represent the Terriers next season and they have wasted little time in revealing that a fourth transfer in less than 24 hours had been made official.

Mounie makes the switch to the John Smith's Stadium for an undisclosed fee, but it has been reported that Huddersfield have paid in the region of £10m for his signature.

Head coach 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 his a very attractive proposition as a young striker.

"He has real physical attributes that should be perfect for the Premier League, plus we have already seen his talents as a footballer in his remarkable season in France. We have met and I know he is a great character. For a man of his young age, he already has great experience both in life and as a footballer from his time in France, playing in a high-quality Ligue 1.

"At just 22 years old, he is only going to improve too. Given what he is already capable of, that is very exciting."

Last season, Mounie netted 14 goals in 35 appearances in Ligue 1.
