Huddersfield Town sign Abdelhamid Sabiri on three-year deal from FC Nurnberg

Huddersfield Town have signed midfielder Abdelhamid Sabiri from FC Nurnberg for an undisclosed fee.

The Moroccan-born playmaker, 20, has signed a three-year contract with the Premier League newcomers, with the club having the option of extending that deal by a further year.

Sabiri scored five goals in seven starts last season in Germany's second tier and came through the youth system at SV Darmstadt 98, who Terriers head coach David Wagner played for.

"I'm very happy that we have been able to add Abdelhamid to our squad in this summer window; he is one of the most exciting talents from the German leagues," said Wagner.

"We needed another natural 'No 10' in our squad and he gives us a good option in all the attacking midfield areas.

He is still learning the game and his space to develop is huge.

"Abdelhamid made a big impression in Germany with his performances for Nurnberg in the second half of last season. The number of goals he has scored from his position is very impressive, which comes from good football intelligence.

"When I have talked to him, I have been very impressed by how desperate he is to join our club and prove himself at Premier League level. This was a big factor in our negotiation.

"He is still learning the game and his space to develop is huge. If he works hard, like I expect him to do, he could be a high-quality player for this club.

"We will give him all the support he needs to help him become the best player he can be."

Sabiri will wear the No 11 shirt for Huddersfield.
