Huddersfield have completed the signing of left-back Scott Malone from Fulham.

Malone becomes Huddersfield's fifth signing in just over 24 hours and the deal could be worth up to £5m, according to Sky sources.

The defender follows the record transfer of Montpellier striker Steve Mounie on Wednesday morning.

Malone, who has signed a three-year deal, joined Fulham from Cardiff City last summer and was instrumental in the west London club's play-off push.

Huddersfield head coach David Wagner said: "I'm excited to welcome Scott to Huddersfield Town. Our fans will have seen in our games against Fulham last season what a good player he is and I know his abilities will suit our style of play very well.

"Scott is a good physical presence and is a very capable defender, plus he adds a lot going forward. He shows good football intelligence to time his forward runs and can setup goals for teammates and scoring them himself."
