Huddersfield are close to making Monaco defender Terence Kongolo their first signing of the January transfer window, according to Sky sources.
The club are in talks with Kongolo and it is understood a deal for the Netherlands international could be concluded within the next 24 hours.
Kongolo, 23, only moved to French champions Monaco in the summer, signing on a five-year contract from Feyenoord.
He has featured six times for the French club this season, including one Champions League game, and has won three international caps in his career to date.
Head coach David Wagner bemoaned his side's sloppy defending in their 3-0 defeat to Leicester on New Year's Day.
The defeat left Huddersfield winless in their last four Premier League outings, although they remain in 11th place in the Premier League on 24 points - six above the drop zone.
