Transfer news: Huddersfield sign Diego Poyet on loan from West Ham

Huddersfield have signed teenage midfielder Diego Poyet on loan from West Ham.

The 19-year-old son of Sunderland manager Gus, who has joined on a youth loan, will stay with Huddersfield until December 6 and will go straight into Chris Powell's squad for Saturday's league game at Fulham.

Powell told the club's official website: "Diego is a player I know very well from our time together at Charlton.

"He is a real talent and adds further quality to our midfield options.

"I have been told that Diego caught the eye of a number of clubs, including Huddersfield Town, following his performances for Charlton, but he's been out of our reach until this opportunity became available.

Diego is a tenacious midfield player with a great range of passing. He should dovetail brilliantly with our other midfield players at the club.

"He's made his Premier League bow for West Ham and we will give him further Championship experience.

"I am grateful that the club has demonstrated a willingness to enhance the squad and move quickly to get the move done.

"Diego is a tenacious midfield player with a great range of passing; he should dovetail brilliantly with our other midfield players at the club and fit right into the squad in terms of his personality."

Poyet joined West Ham United in the summer from Charlton, where he was named player of the year last season after only making his debut in January.

He turned down a new deal at Charlton in the summer in favour of a move to West Ham, with whom he signed a four-year contract, and has made two first-team appearances this season.
