Huddersfield Town have confirmed the loan signing of forward Isaac Mbenza from Ligue 1 side Montpellier.

A statement on the club’s website reads: “The 22-year-old winger, who is equally comfortable operating on the left or right flanks, joins the Terriers on a season-long loan, with the Club having the option to then make the move a permanent transfer at the end of the 2018/19 season.”

Huddersfield Town Head Coach David Wagner welcomed Isaac to the Club:

“Isaac is a very exciting player and this is a great deal for Huddersfield Town for a player with such ability and potential. You do not play for Belgium at Under-21 level unless you have some outstanding attributes.

“He’s a very quick winger with a direct style of play, which is exactly what we were looking for. As you can see from his last season at Montpellier, he has a real eye for goal too.

“When we first spoke, it’s clear that he is a real winner too; a fierce competitor who will not accept second-best. I like these characteristics in our players!

“I’m looking forward to working with Isaac on the training pitch and in the classroom to help him understand our style of play.”
